Hello

 

I'm currently in a middle of a accutane treatment. Stupid as I was, I forgot to bring the pills to my 2 weeks holiday.... So I haven't been able to take the pills for 2 weeks.

 

What will actually happen, did I just screwed it up?? I've heard that the most important thing is the cumulative dose. Will I have to begin from 0 when I'm starting my treatment again or does the previous amount of accutane count in?

 

 

Anyone that had been in the same situation like me?

Hey

 

I spoke with my derm i stopped tane due to irritation and dryness possible leading to breakout

she said tane stays in your system for some time and if you stop and start again within 30 days (mnth) it is if u never stopped

I think this ONE break during your entire course wont make much of a difference

Probably not since you've been taking it for a while.
