What is Accutane?
Accutane is an oral drug developed by the LaRoche Company for treatment of the most severe forms of acne. Other names for Accutane are Roaccutane, Isotretinoin, Amnesteem, Claravis, and Sotret. Where other medications often fall short, Accutane is powerful enough to treat acne that can leave the patient permanently disfigured. However, because Accutane can also have dramatic side effects, certain strict precautions have been laid out for its use.

In October 2001, Congressman Bart Stupak expressed his concerns about Accutane following the suicide of his son who happened to be taking Accutane. The manufacturer of Accutane (Roche) has warned physicians that Accutane can possibly cause "depression, psychotic symptoms, and rarely suicide attempts", but still Roche maintains they believe the drug is safe. Since 1982, there have been over 142 suicides involving Accutane.In addition to a link between Accutane and psychiatric disorders, Accutane causes severe birth defects and even fetal death and the FDA concluded Hoffmann-La Roche did not adequately communicate the dangers to women using Accutane. Now Accutane has been linked to an increased occurrence of the following:

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
  • Crohns' Disease, Ulcerative Colitis
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Diabetes
  • Hepatitis
  • Hepatotoxicity
  • Liver Damage
  • Kidney Damage
  • Birth Defects
  • Fetal Death
  • Lupus

Under no circumstances should you discontinue taking any medication, including Accutane, without first consulting with your doctor.
