ROACCUTANE: Roaccutane, known as Accutane in the United States, usually clears acne in 5 or 6 months. Why don't you ask your doctor about weaning you off this?

Check with doctor: Please consult the doctor that prescribed the medication to determine what to do next. Be sure you didn't miss any follow-up appointments.
