I'm going on Accutane within the month but leaving the country for about 5 weeks, will I be able to continue when I come home?

The only time you have to be on a 30 day hold is the original time after enrolling in the program, and then if you miss your window (meaning you don't follow the timing your doctor has given you). So if you follow what your doctor has laid out for timing, you will be fine. If you mess it up then you could be on a 30 day hold again. So basically, do what your doctor says and it will be ok for timing. You can read all about the windows and timing in the iPledge program book that your doctor gave you upon registration. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
