A member asked:
I took accutane for 9 months. how long does it stay in your body afterwards? 6-12 months for a 6 month course? what about 9 months, is it 1.5 years?

Confused: A standard course of this is 5 [FIVE} months. Where are you? The concern is for females giving birth to deformed infants while on this, not after. After a week, the side effects are gone. After a month it is safe to be pregnant. Males taking this have no increased risk of abnormal children. Were you not instructed in the details by whoever gave you the medicine?
