Hello,

The passage of the drug Accutane in the seminal fluid is so minimal that a teratogenic effect for the fetus is unlikely. Thus, there is no credible link between the use of isotretinoin by a partner and the risk of fetal malformation. However, you should avoid handling the drug at all costs

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. My team remains available in branch or by phone if needed.

Have a nice day and enjoy!
