<p>Definitely email Larry Mullen at DoDMERB before you start on Accutane.

<p>For the Naval Academy, they want you off the Accutane before you start since it can be associated with liver problems. This is why when you take Accutane it is very important to get your periodic blood tests.<br>
NROTC <em>may</em> be different. Definitely check it out before you start taking it.
Accutane is a very good drug but very controversial. For some people with certain types of acne a 6 month treatment does the trick. It is generally not the first drug of choice when treating acne. Have a conversation with your dermatologist about your impending military service as well.</p>
