Risks and dangers of Accutane

While for millions of women suffering from acne, there is no better treatment than Accutane, the drug can have serious side effects - in fact, the risks are so great that every time a woman is prescribed this medication, her name is entered into a database so that she can be more closely monitored (since they simply cannot afford to get pregnant).

A new study has even more bad news for women who take Accutane. According to the latest research, Accutane also raises the chances of heart and liver problems in the patients

According to Dr. Lee Zane of the University of California, San Francisco, not all patients will get these illnesses, but the study shows raises serious doubts about the safety of the drug and gives another reason for consumer groups to ask for a recall of Accutane.
