I Have Been On Accutane For A Little Over A
Brief Answer:
It is better to consider abortion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Accutane is known to cause birth defects in the baby. It remains in your system for 5-10 days after you stop taking it. The birth defects are mostly caused in the first three months of pregnancy. If you have taken accutane regularly for 16 days after the conception then it is best to consider going for abortion. You can discuss this with your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
