Would you recommend continuing Accutane in a teenage female who has experienced a drop in calcium to 8.8 and reductions in albumin and protein levels one month into therapy?

Given that Accutane can affect calcium homeostasis, would you recommend continuing Accutane or are additional steps or workups warranted?

I am curious to know why these labs were checked? And isn't 8.8 a relatively normal calcium level?
