I'm not sure. The side-effects and contra-indications profile of topical isotretinoin is far more benign than that of oral isotretinoin, so presumably the blood absorption is not as great.
I see that oral isotretinoin is now *strictly* contra-indicated in pregnant women owing to the fact that it is a teratogen. In the US, only dermatologists may prescribe it, and only once the FDA has cleared it through their iPLEDGE system.
