Hi,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It's not uncommon to experience menstrual irregularities after completing a course of Accutane (isotretinoin), as the medication can influence hormonal balances in the body.

However, if your periods remain inconsistent for an extended period after stopping Accutane, it might be a good idea to consult with a specialist. A gynecologist or an endocrinologist can help determine if there are any underlying issues that need to be addressed. They can conduct appropriate tests and provide you with personalized advice and treatment options.

In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, may help regulate your menstrual cycle. However, professional medical advice is always the best course of action in such situations.
