I have taken one Acrotac 25 mg Capsule. Will this affect my chances of planning a pregnancy after 6 months or 1 year?

Asked by Female, 32 · 22 days ago

Acrotac 25 mg Capsule contains acitretin, a medicine that can cause serious birth defects if pregnancy occurs while the drug is still present in the body. Even a single dose should be discussed with your doctor before planning a pregnancy. In general, women taking acitretin are advised to avoid becoming pregnant for a prolonged period after stopping the medicine because it can remain in the body for a long time, especially if alcohol is consumed. Therefore, planning a pregnancy after 6 months may not be considered safe without medical guidance. If you have taken only one capsule, it is important to inform your doctor about the exact dose and timing. Your doctor can advise you about the recommended waiting period and any precautions you should take before trying to conceive.
