I know some acne medications that are taken orally can cause serious birth defects, but your doctor makes sure you aren't pregnant first and puts you on birth control. If it's a topical solution I'm assuming the risks are much, much lower, especially if you discontinue using it. Call your doctor and ask. Even if you have only set up your first appointment and havent actually gone in yet, they'll be more than happy to answer your questions and it'll ease your mind. I work in the cosmetics department at Walgreens and you can try something like Acne Free. Its just like Proactiv and you can get it there or at Walmart and it works pretty well.
