A member asked:

Is it safe to stop accutane a week early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

D/C Accutane: Discontinuing a week earlier than your complete course is not dangerous, but may have an impact on your overall result (small chance, but still present). You must stop Accutane immediately if you are pregnant!
