Accutane-using women should be compelled to wear a scarlet "A" so that no one will have sex with them.
wow. hmmmm. Proactiv or Accutane? I think Proactiv. Worked for my kids.
I am going to jump right in here since I am sure that some well-meaning person is going to suggest that such a dangerous drug shouldn't even be on the market. (Obviously, that would *not* be a libertarian making that remark!) And what I have to say is that Accutane literally changed my life. I went through all of high school and college as a "pizza face," even though I saw a dermatologist, took scrupulous care of my skin, and took antibiotics for years at a time. Then I took Accutane, and in a few months, I had decent skin. It literally changed my life.
My dermatologist did sit me down and make VERY sure I understood the risks and that it was imperative I not get pregnant. My guess is that most dermatologists still do the same thing. I don't see how a registry is going to improve on that, unless they send a nanny to every registrant's home to follow them around 24/7.
