Answer: A - A male patient has 30 days to pick up his prescription for Accutane, with the office visit counting as day one. Since males cannot get pregnant, they have a longer window of time to pick up their prescription for Accutane. This is because they are not at a risk for endangering a fetus while taking this medication. They are, however, still monitored closely, and can only pick up a 30 day supply of medication at one time, in order to minimize the risk of having extra medication around that a pregnant woman could accidentally ingest.
