oratane


Hello, I am the user of Oratane. I am a female, so I would like to ask whether this medicine has any chance that it will continue in my blood or body after I finish taking Oratane? There is any test to assure this medicine already clear from my body before I intend to pregnant? Thank you for taking your time to answer my enquiries.

Regards,

Hi. Female patients must use 2 methods of birth control whilst on Oral Isotretinoin and for 5 weeks afterwards as there is a high risk of malformation in exposed pregnancies. After 5 weeks there is no risk to a developing baby. Oratane doesn't "stay in your body" beyond 5 weeks. It shrinks the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin semi-permanently. These grow back very slowly, by which time virtually all patients have outgrown their tendancy to acne.
Best Wishes, Eloise.
