Can I Take Isoface-Isotretinoin Forever?

Question

I'm a female 39 yrs old, I've been taking Isoface for about 2 years now. At age 23 a dermatologist prescribed Roaccutane. I had to stop taking it though because I wanted a baby. I have a healthy 13 year old boy NO birth defects of any kind! I wanted clear skin so I went to a Dr. in Colombia he prescribed Isoface 20mg 3 times/week - my face is COMPLETELY CLEAR! He also said that I can take it for as long as I want as long as I don't plan to have a baby; he's been taking it for 14 years now!

People who take Isotretinoin specifically for acne don't need to take it forever, as eventually the acne is treated and clear and there's no longer a need for the medication. There are other conditions that Isotretinoin treats too, that require the medication to be taken at very low dosage, possible forever. In every case of a female who is capable of becoming pregnant, if you decide (along with your physician) that you need to take Isotretinoin forever, then you will also need to be on 2 forms of birth control until you are not longer of child bearing potential.
