See doctor now: There is a very high risk of pregnancy complications that can occur from conceiving while on accutane. It can cause spontaneous miscarriages, prematurity, or severe birth defects. All patients taking Accutane should avoid getting pregnant, and take effective birth control. She should immediately stop taking the Accutane and see an ob-gyn doctor.
