Accutane is a Vitamin A derivative used to treat the most extreme cases of acne. Doctors prescribe it to individuals who have tried lesser, ineffective treatments. Accutane is an oil gland inhibitor that diminishes oil in the skin, curing acne. Accutane is an amazingly effective medicine, clearing up the most especially atrocious cases of acne in a matter of three to six months, improving the self-esteem, social lives, and health of patients who use it. Once the acne is gone, the patient ceases to take Accutane, and in virtually every case, it never reappears. Accutane Side Effects
Some of the side effects reported by patients and doctors include back and joint pain, depression, suicidal thoughts, miscarriage, birth defects, alopecia—hair loss, weakened skin—deterioration of skin tissue resulting in cracking, tearing, and cutting easily, dry mucous membranes such as those in the nose; excessive aggression, vascular problems such as stroke and heart attack, eye problems like pink eye and extreme dryness, allergic vasculitis—an extreme reaction to the medication that causes inflammation and damage to the blood vessels in the skin; inflammatory bowel disease/syndrome, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, anaphylaxis, seizure, reduced numbers of white blood cells, neurosis, tinnitus, and liver damage. In some cases patients were not informed of all of the potential side effects before they began taking the medication, and as a result of their uninformed decision to begin taking it, suffered an injury caused by Accutane.
