The idea is to have an equal amount of the medication in your body throughout the day.

Accutane is suppose to be taken twice a day, usually once in the morning and again before you go to bed. It's not recommended to be taken only once during the day.

If you have any more questions about it feel free to call your doctor or your pharmacy and I'm sure they would be happy to help answer any questions you have. Good luck!

Accutane's History

In the months after accutane's commercial release in 1982 it became evident that something was seriously wrong. By 1983 a number of public consumer groups began a

petition asking the FDA to force La Roche to include warning information with the drug.

These concerns escalated to cause another petition calling for an Accutane ban in 1988. Current statistics suggest that about 25 percent of Accutane pregnancy births

result in serious birth defects and 50 percent of the Accutane pregnancy births result in mental disability.

Guidelines for Females
1. Do not take Accutane if you are pregnant or if you could become pregnant during treatment or for one month after you stop taking Accutane.
2. Accutane is in the FDA pregnancy category X. This means that Accutane is known to cause severe birth defects in an unborn baby.
3. It can also cause miscarriage, premature birth, or death of the baby.
4. Two reliable forms of birth control must be used at the same time
