Answer: D - A female patient must take all of the above steps in order for a prescription for Accutane to be refilled. Accutane can cause severe birth defects if taken by pregnant women, so women must produce a negative pregnancy test before Accutane can be refilled. They must also get a new prescription from the prescribing doctor each month, and complete a monthly survey through the IPLEDGE program.
