Unfortunately this happens frequently and it's why I often tell patients to immediately leave my office and go to the pharmacy to drop off the prescription. If the Accutane isn't in stock you can miss your window to pick it up within the iPledge program. Next time you get a prescription, take it to the pharmacy immediately and this will help prevent you from missing a month. Overall, you may be ok, or you may need to be on the medication longer. You and your doctor will need to determine the appropriate course based on the severity of your acne. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
