I am concerned Accutane has affected my son's (15yrs) growth? Can you help

My son is turning 15 tomorrow . He is 6'1 size 15 shoe and has been predicted to be 6'5. In the sport he wants to play he needs every inch so this is a big deal. He has been on 40mg 1 x per day for 3 months. He hasn't grown at all since taking the drug and I have read a side effect can be closed growth plates. Should we stop immediately? I am worried the damage is done. Will this correct itself or irreversible?
