Long Term Side Effects of Accutane
The short answer is "no". Much of the press and concern about Accutane is quite simply based on fear, not scientific fact. Accutane has a very short half-life (amount of time the medication is in your system), which is just a few days. So there is no way you'd have side effects after 8 years.
