Answers:
You should be OK being on Isotane for 8 months!. Plus, you are not abusing the drug!. I'm wondering, before your doctor put you on Isotane, did he do blood work!? Reason I ask is because a good doctor would do a blood test to make sure your liver enzymes are within normal limits!. Because this drug can result in increased blood fats, and fatty liver are common side effects from Isotane (isotretinoin)!. Therapy with Isotane usually lasts for 4-6 months!.

Your doctor SHOULD prescribe regular blood tests (every 2 months I'd say) while you are on this medication to check your liver enzymes (SGOT and SGPT)!.
