A member asked:
I take isotretinoin 20 mg for 3 weeks and now i think im pregnant...is it 100% that the embryo will have serious problems?

No.: Of course not 100% risk of fetal anomalies - but stop the exposure and seek genetic counseling and early prenatal diagnosis with ultrasound. Take Folic Acid 1 mg daily and best of luck - most babies are normal, by far!
