Accutane 4 cystic ac: ne. It can be stored in your body fat and slowly released into your blood for a long time after you stop taking it. It is a very potent teratogen and can cause terrible birth defects. Make sure that you are using 2 forms of birth control and that your partner is too. And stop taking it as soon as you can!!
