A member asked:

Can i continue my isotretinoin treatment after a 2 week interruption ? i'd be starting month 3.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise caution: Isotretinoin is a highly effective medication for acne vulgaris, however it has numerous potential adverse effects. You need to coordinate with your dermatologist and be followed very closely. Your skin doctor needs to have you on two forms of contraception with periodic pregnancy tests. The drug is typically started at a low dose during the first month and then increased to 1 mg/kg/day.
