Aggression, Depression, Suicide

Accutane (generic name isotretinoin) is an FDA approved medication used to treat severe acne. In 1998 the makers of Accutane, Hoffmann-La Roche, advised doctors who prescribe Accutane to watch their patients for aggressive and/or violent behavior, depression, psychosis, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts as possible side effects.

Other possible side effects associated with the use of Accutane include:

• Birth defects
• Abdominal pain
• Rectal bleeding
• Inflammatory bowel syndrome
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Ulcerative colitis
• Premature closure of growth plates
• Crohn’s disease
• Bone and muscle loss
• Pancreatitis
• Immune system disorder
• Central nervous system injuries
• Cardiovascular injuries
• Liver damage
• Kidney damage.

Even after much scrutiny, 66 reports of suicide and 1,373 cases of psychiatric problems among Accutane users received by the FDA as of December of 2000, Accutane is still prescribed in America.
