iPLEDGE Advice

We have commented on the problems that are arising with the iPLEDGE program and after taking a close look, we have a suggestion for those of you initiating therapy with isotretinoin.

Due to the ridiculous timing constraints that the program places on office visits and receiving prescriptions, it is very difficult to take isotretinoin without interruption. However, if on your initial prescription, you delay picking the medicine up (or just delay starting to take the medication) until 5-6 days after your office visit, you can schedule your office visit on time and still have enough pills to last you so that you can take the medication without interruption.

Give this a try and recommend it to your doctor. It will allow for smoother therapy.
