Do not give blood while you take
Accutane and for 1 month after stopping Accutane.
If someone who is pregnant
gets your donated blood, her baby may be
exposed to Accutane and may be born with
birth defects.
Do not take vitamin A supplements.
Vitamin A in high doses has many of the
same side effects as Accutane. Taking
both together may increase your chance
of getting side effects.
Do not have cosmetic procedures to
smooth your skin, including waxing,
dermabrasion, or laser procedures, while
you are using Accutane and for at least
6 months after you stop.
Accutane can increase your chance of scarring from
these procedures. Check with your
prescriber for advice about when you can
have cosmetic procedures.
Avoid sunlight and ultraviolet lights as much as possible.
Tanning machines use ultraviolet lights. Accutane may make
your skin more sensitive to light.
