You must obtain negative pregnancy test results a month before taking Accutane and during the month before starting the treatment are supposed to use reliable methods of birth control to make sure you do not get pregnancy. Accutane can cause severe birth defects if taken by a pregnant woman. Each time you will have your prescription refilled you will need to take a pregnancy test as well. It is not known for sure whether isotretinoin may pass into breast milk, so in case of breastfeeding also talk to your health care provider.
