Can Morning After Pill And Accutane Be Taken Together?
I m on accutaine and have been taking it for a while now, I m also on birth control but recently ran out and have missed a few already. I was thinking about taking the morning after pill tomorrow, I had sex today. But can it affect anything if I m taking accutaine also?? I have my monthly blood test this week on Wednesday for my accutaine.

Hi
Since you have missed birth control pills there ia possibility of you conceiving.
If you want to avoid pregnancy take the morning after pill at the earliest so that it has maximum effect. There are no known interactions between Accutane and morning after pill. So you need not worry.
But please remember that while on Accutane which is teratogenic drug you must be very regular with the use of birth control pills. Birth control pills have greater efficacy than morning after pill in avoiding pregnancy.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
