Accutane has been linked
to serious side effects with more than 1,300 psychiatric side
effects including severe depression and more than 66 cases of
suicide. Accutane is also related to serious Birth
Defects, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease and Inflammatory
Bowel Disorder. The FDA now requires doctors
to have patients sign a consent form that says they understand
the risks associated with Accutane including depression and suicide.
Pharmacists must also hand out a detailed warning brochure called
a Medguide. Accutane is one of only 3 drugs that has ever required
a Medguide. |
