IPLEDGE Update

The IPLEDGE program has begun. Currently, pharmacies must be registered and soon, all prescribing physicians will need to be registered to prescribe isotretinoin. As of now, if you are given a prescription for isotretinoin (Accutane, Sotret, Amnesteem, Claravis) you may still get your prescription filled with a yellow sticker attached. In addition, you may register online or by phone with the IPLEDGE program and receive your prescription this way (assuming your physician is already enrolled in the program).

It is important to note that as of March, anyone who receives a prescription for isotretnoin must be registered with the IPLEDGE program. So speak with your dermatologist and make sure you are both up to date.
