Can I use Isotretinoin if I have a copper T IUD?

Question

Will it have a reaction on my skin? Considering that I am prone to acne (Acne Vulgaris)?

Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD · Answer

While taking Isotretinoin you need to pledge 2 forms of contraception during the treatment period.  An IUD is a good option as one for the 2 contraceptive methods.  There are no contraindications with a copper IUD.Be sure to be under the care of a Board Certified Dermatologist.

Jolene le Roux, MD · Answer

Yes, you can use isotretinoin with a copper IUD.  It is advised to be on two methods of contraception while taking isotretinoin.  IUDs are excellent forms of contraception.  The IUD would not alter the effect of isotretinoin on your skin.
