A member asked:
Does accutane reduce the effectiveness of the nexplanon implant birth control? i will be taking accutane soon and i would like to know.
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There is no known interaction between those two meds. But, as you probably know, pregnancy and Accutane are a very very bad combination.

Accutane: All women of child bearing age who are contemplating use of Accutane should be on birth control. There is no known contraindication with Nexplanon and this type of long-term contraception can minimize accidental pregnancy due to noncompliance with medication.
