See derm: I have treated patients for 29 years and had to stop Accutane only a few times. I feel it is safe when you are monitored by your doctor.

Everything has risks: Car accidents are an enormous killer of young, healthy people, but are a risk that many are willing to take to get around quickly and easily. Powerful medicines also have risks, and these must be balanced with the potential benefits. Accutane is certainly not for everyone, but for the right patient, with an experienced doctor, it can be a life-changing treatment that is often unmatched.
