A member asked:

I've been on mononessa for about 2 1/2 weeks because i'm being put on accutane later this month. i've been spotting this whole time, is this normal?

Of course not: Discuss with DR. Sometimes need time to adjust to pill. Sometimes need change. Consider YAZ (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) or a generic equivalent because it is very good for acne.
