I believe the side effects they are referring to, has to do with women who can reproduce. Accutane is highly potent for a baby. Most women who take the drug are on two birth control medicines. It causes all kinds of damage to the baby.
Correct. Girls have to effectively sign affidavits that they are using birth control pills while on the drug. They are required to be on the pill to use it. They have to complete an online questionnaire every month they use Accutane. It is some powerful stuff that can cause horrific birth defects should they get pregnant.
Side effects of Accutane are also depression and suicidal tendacies.
I didn’t know they still perscribed this.
