Accutane

Accutane is a capsule that reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin. It is a form of vitamin A that also helps your skin renew itself more quickly.

Accutane is primarily given after other acne medications or antibiotics have been used and have been unsuccessful in treating severe acne. It may also be used for other purposes not listed, but recommended by a doctor. Most people are prescribed Accutane after other medications or antibiotics have failed to treat symptoms.

Warning if Pregnant

Do NOT take Accutane if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. The pill can cause severe birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Even only one dose can cause major birth defects of the baby’s ears, eyes, face, skull, heart, and brain.

Possible Side Effects

Accutane also has other possible side effects after normal use. If you experience any of these side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Some possible side effects include:

Depressed mood
Trouble concentrating
Sleep problems
Crying spells
Aggression or agitation
Changes in behavior
Hallucinations
Thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself
Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
Blurred vision
Sudden and severe headache
Pain behind your eyes
Vomiting
Hearing problems, hearing loss, ringing in your ears
Seizure (convulsions)

Accutane side effects can be severe, and you should seek legal help if you or a loved one have suffered due to taking this medication.

The following video provides seven of the most common side effects of Accutane.
