Can you say if it could isotretinoin ( a.k.a accutane among other generic names ) stunt my growth?

Unknown: Isotretinoin has been observed to change bone density in clinical trials. Premature epiphyseal (growth plate) closure has also been reported. Its overall long term effect on the skeleton is not known.
