Accutane Registry May Help Prevent Retardation
Beginning last Friday, users of the drug Accutane have begun to be listed in a national registry as part of an effort to limit use of the drug by pregnant, or potentially pregnant, women. Not only is Accutane being a registered drug, but its three generic versions are being logged as well. Amnesteem, Claravis, and Sostret are all the same drug: isotretinoin. This drug has been chased after by the FDA for over 20 years in an effort to prevent it from ever coming in contact with a human fetus. For women who are pregnant when they take the drug, or become pregnant shortly after, there is a very high risk that the fetus could develop brain or heart malformities, including mental retardation.
If you have any fears or concerns with fetal malformation due to drugs with negative side effects, feel free to contact The James Esparza Law Firm of Salt Lake City, Utah.

My name is Amanda Nourse and i would like to show you my personal experience with Accutane.
I have taken for 6 days. I am 27 years old. My dermatoglogist put me back on Accutane partially because Klaron, Rentin A, & Doxycyclin were NOT working....I have been on Accutane before about 7 years ago so not too concerned about the side effects. With my previous run on this medicine I didn't have the severe back aches. I will say I did have tons of issues registering with the IPledge website...all too confusing all to combersome! Didn't have to do that 7 years ago. Since this is my 2nd go round I can say that for me there were no depression issues because my skin looks awesome ...tons of compliments. As with all things once I stop so will the side effects. This medication is obviously for those with severe acne so you should certainly weigh the pros vs. the cons...for me I didn't think twice...
Side Effects :
I've been on Acutane for 6 days now & I will say my back is aching terribly & my lips are DRY!
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Amanda Nourse
