Hello Doctors, my doctor gave me Roaccutan 20 mg. He explained me about the risk of pregnancy but didnt explain me much. Then i researched on internet and i got scare, cause i already payed for 12 sessions of laser hair removal and the summer is coming with sun and parties. I was wondering if is ok to take just this one box after i finished with my depilation and not take more, or if ill have terrible breakout?my face is not that bad, is just constantly with acne. Best regards, maria

Accutane has no affect on semen and therefore is fine for men to take while trying to have a baby with their partners. It's only unsafe for the fetus and causes deformities, but none of these have been shown to have any affect on males and semen, so you are fine to keep trying to have a baby...

It's perfectly fine to take these oral supplements along with Accutane. You should make your prescribing physician aware of any medications/supplements you use or take while on Accutane too.
