Thus a good history and physical examination of the patient will help determine if comorbidities are present and provide early intervention. The patient with allergic rhinitis can maintain symptom management via intranasal steroid, oral/intranasal antihistamine (USPHHS, 2013).

If not fatal, fetal malformation may include cleft palate, anotia, small/absent auditory canal, septal defects, microcephaly, hydrocephalus, and limb reduction or duplication (On & Zeichner, 2013). Due to the terotogenic effect of the medication, the FDA has approved the iPLEDGE program to monitor the prescribing, dispensing, and distribution of isotretinoin. Other effects are chelitis, lipid abnormalities, and IBS. Patients who are taking isotretinoin are to be monitored monthly
