Accutane is Scary

8/9/2019

1 Comment

 
​There are a lot of medications on the market to "cure" acne. Some are not as bad as others but some, like Accutane (Isotretinoin), should not be taken. The side effects are scary!

The drug works for severe (cystic) acne, providing long-lasting and sometimes complete reduction of acne for 80 percent of patients. However, clear skin may be accompanied by serious side effects like Crohn’s disease (this has also been reported to cause problems long after the person has stopped taking the drug), birth defects and suicide. And, once you stop taking it, the acne may come back because you have not fixed the problem.

These are some common side effects associated with taking this medication:

Diminished night vision
Increased bone injuries due to thickened or weakened bones
Increased reaction to UV exposure
Red, cracked or sore lips
Nosebleeds
Changes in nails
Peeling skin
Unusual hair growth or loss
Bleeding or swollen gums
Fatigue
Voice changes
Headache
Slow healing of cuts or sores
Cold symptoms
Dry skin and eyes
Muscle aches
