are necessary when you are taking isotretinoin ; these tests must be done when

sexually active while taking isotretinoin must use an effective method of birth
control such as a condoms for the male partner. A women who does get pregnant

by isotretinoin are so serious, it’s important not to share the pills with
others. We don’t know whether isotretinoin taken by men can cause birth defects,
so it’s best not to get a woman pregnant while taking isotretinoin . If she is
not using birth control, the man should use a condom. There are a few reports of
patients having decreased night vision after using isotretinoin.One patient
still had problems six months after the drug was stopped. If you experience
trouble with your vision while on isotretinoin call the Doctor right away.
