I saw an older post from 2006 stating that there are no birth side effects caused by the sperm of male patients taking accutane.
So today, 12 years later, i was wondering if there have been any birth defect cases caused by the sperm of male patients using accutane. Anyone know?
I have been prescribed accutane and i'm frightened to take it.
Thanks

There isn't much evidence out there. It seems to be a lot of people say it doesn't affect the male.

If you want to be sure, hold of on pregnancy til 1 month after your course.
