I just was prescribed a new month of Accutane (80mg/day), and because of the dosage, got a new brand of isotretinoin (Myorisan instead of Claravis). I got home from the pharmacy to find that they only gave me half of the medication! I don't know what I should do; obviously I will be talking to the pharmacy tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling about the situation because of the tight iPledge restrictions on accutane. Besides the fact that I am near the end of treatment and would hate to mess it up now, the medicine I did not receive cost around $500. Has anyone had a problem like this before or could offer advice? Thanks so much!

Talk to the pharmacy and if that doesn't work call your doctor/dermatologist. Tell them what happened and they should be able to change the script.

^The above.

It might take them a while but the pharmacy really should be able to look at how much Accutane they have in stock and compare it how much they should have given out to patients by looking at the prescriptions they filled for Accutane over the last month or whatever.

They should still have a record of your prescription and should be able to see they have more Accutane in stock and that they have shorted you by mistake.

Alternatively perhaps your Dr wrote the prescription wrong by mistake?
