Is it mandatory to take the contraceptive pill during Accutane treatment?

It is not mandatory to take the contraceptive pill during Accutane treatment, but it is recommended to use some form of contraception due to the risks of birth defects associated with Accutane if one were to become pregnant. The double method is considered the most secure option, but using condoms, non-hormonal IUDs, or other forms of contraception are also suitable choices.
