What are the requirements for using iPledge?

Asked a year ago
To use iPledge, certain requirements must be met. First and foremost, patients need to be enrolled in iPledge, which is only available for those prescribed isotretinoin, a medication used to treat severe acne. Patients must be aware of the potential risks and side effects associated with this medication. Secondly, healthcare professionals who prescribe isotretinoin need to be registered with iPledge and provide necessary information about the patient's medical history, pregnancy test results, and counseling completions. Additionally, both male and female patients of reproductive age must follow iPledge's contraception guidelines, which typically involve the use of two methods of birth control simultaneously. Female patients, in particular, must have negative pregnancy test results before starting treatment and at regular intervals during therapy. Lastly, all participants, including patients, healthcare providers, and pharmacies, must adhere to iPledge's guidelines and reporting procedures to ensure the safe and responsible use of isotretinoin.
