Accutane: Why don't you google it... And you can read from several sources what Accutane does and what its side effects are. The questions that are being asked raises suspicion as to whether they are really valid questions from real people. Health tap needs to have guidelines for questions as too many of them seem repetitious and without enough information to really answer.

The facts: It's the definitive, and often only effective, rx for severe acne. You must not become pregnant while taking it. It is not pleasant. You'll be monitored closely during the process. Acne is a very serious personal and professional liability. The people i know who have done it are very glad afterwards.
