"Also, this article fails to mention that more males have severe cystic acne than females. As usual for articles like this, it mentions the possibility of the FDA banning accutane even though there is no substitute for it."

Well, maybe it should only be prescribed for men. Is there any evidence that use by the father is bad for the child, I'd guess not, based on the stuff in the article about the zygote (or whatever) needing to be implanted in the uterus.

If what you mean by "hit piece" is that the drug is blamed rather than the user, I agree. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Accutane doesn't damage children, irresponsible females who want-what-they-want-when-they-want-it-and-if-they-don't-get-it-someone-or-something- other-than-themselves-is-to-blame do. Agreed.

Cripes, sometimes I hate my society, especially the women, with whom I'm forced to share a sex. (Share A sex, not share sex,lol). Can no one think of the children?

>>>>Is there any evidence that use by the father is bad for the child

NONE! For some reason, the male body doesn't even retain it. Whereas, the woman's body will retain it even after she stops taking it for up to at least 3 months from what I remember.

Read post #9. No, I don't agree that only males should be allowed to be treated with accutane.
