There should be gap of minimum 4 weeks of isotretinoin therapy before planning. Azithro and dolo are safe.

Isotretinoin must not be taken by patients who are pregnant or who may become pregnant. There is a high risk that isotretinoin will cause loss of the pregnancy, or will cause the baby to be born too early, to die shortly after birth, or to be born with birth defects (physical problems that are present at birth).must be stop
