Stopping and restarting Accutane

I'm assuming you're supposed to be on the antibiotics for about 7-10 days, somewhere in there anyway depending upon the type of antibiotic. With that being said, it shouldn't alter your course too much and I doubt you'll need to be on your course anything more than perhaps an extra month just to be sure. You shouldn't be worried about the days of the medication, just the progress. Your dermatologist will know the days, your weight, your location and severity of acne, and everything else... more
