A member asked:
Does isotretinoin affect the effectiveness of the diane35 pill in terms of both birth control and acne? i take the pill for acne too and i'm concern the acne treating aspect of the pill will be less effective. can i get pregnant?

No problem: Isotretinoin does not decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. In fact, women who are going to take Isotretinoin should use some form of hormonal contraception so that they don't get pregnant while on the drug or they need to abstain from all forms of sexual activity.
