Roacutan cuts contraceptive effect?

Expert answer:

No, the Roacutan Does Not Cut Contraceptive Effect. Incidentally, it is required that every woman of childbearing age using Roacutan® (isotretinoin) should use at least two contraceptive methods during treatment. This is because this medication causes malformations in the baby, mainly hydrocephalus and defects in the eyes and blood vessels.

The use of the medication can only be made with indication and adequate follow-up by a physician.
