Accutane is manufactured by
Roche Laboratories and was approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in 1982 to treat severe,
disfiguring cystic acne. “Resistant nodular cystic” acne
is painful, disfiguring and unresponsive to other
treatments including antibiotics. A synthetic derivative
of Vitamin A, Accutane is to be taken orally over a
course of several months. The drug works by causing oil
glands to shrink and diminish their oil production.
While the medication has been very effective in treating
acne in patients, the benefits are often outweighed by
the significant health risks that Accutane poses.
According to the FDA’s database, Accutane is one of the
top three drugs with the most reported site effects.
Even before its approval, testing linked Accutane to
fetal anomalies in animals. Other serious health issues
associated with Accutane include birth defects and fetal
death; psychiatric problems including suicide; damage to
the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract,
central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and
autoimmune system. Some research indicates that Accutane
increases the risk of colon cancer. Because of the
varied and dangerous side effects associated with the
drug, physicians must diligently monitor their Accutane
patients by frequent blood testing.
Accutane has been
before the FDA more than twenty times because of its
serious side effects. Whether you are considering a
