Is taking the contraceptive pill mandatory during Accutane treatment?

Yes, taking a contraceptive pill is usually recommended while undergoing Accutane treatment to prevent pregnancy. However, there are other methods of contraception that can also be effective in reducing the risk of pregnancy while on Accutane, such as using a hormonal or non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) in combination with a barrier method like condoms. It is important to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine the best contraceptive option for your situation.
