Accutane Injuries:  News and Warnings

On this page you can find important news and warnings regarding the acne medication Accutane.  The drug has been linked to a number of serious side effects, including Crohn's Disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis.

Accutane (Isotretinoin) is used as treatment of a number of dermatological conditions, most commonly acne. Many times, doctors avoid prescribing it as a first-choice treatment thanks to its potentially harmful side effects. Antibiotics (such as the tetracyclines) are usually prescribed before isotretinoin.

Severe types of acne (conglobata, fulminans, and nodulocystic) as well as acne that scars are sometimes treated with isotretinoin.
