Register with iPledge before starting Accutane. This involves providing personal information, undergoing pregnancy tests, and agreeing to program rules. Failure to comply can result in treatment interruption.
Pregnancy Prevention: A Key Component
IPledge mandates monthly pregnancy tests for female patients and a reliable birth control method. You must confirm your compliance regularly through the system. This is not optional: it’s a critical step to minimize the risk of birth defects associated with Accutane.
Reporting and Follow-Up
Regular reporting of side effects is mandatory. Report any unusual symptoms immediately to your dermatologist and through the iPledge system. Accurate and timely reporting helps healthcare professionals monitor your progress and manage potential risks.
Understanding Your Responsibilities
Full compliance ensures safe and uninterrupted treatment. Familiarize yourself with iPledge’s requirements and guidelines. Contact your doctor or iPledge directly if you have questions or encounter issues. Proactive engagement minimizes complications and allows for successful treatment.
