Help? i have heard there's a long process in order to be prescribed accutane. is this true?

Starting Accutane: Accutane is usually a last resort option for most people due to the side effects and expense. Most people will have attempted treatment with oral antibiotics and topical medications first. If you are a woman of child bearing age, you will require counseling and pregnancy tests while on the medication, and pregnancy is prevented with contraception. There is usually a contract and everything!
