However, the a single side effect that is not in any way questionable is that Accutane can lead to birth defects and for that reason can not be provided to a lady who may grow to be pregnant. New Restrictions: In an effort to get rid of Accutane-related birth defects, the thousands of Americans who take the acne drug Accutane -- and folks who prescribe and dispense it -- have to now enroll in a national registry.

Drugstores and wholesalers also should register in order for the pills' producers to ship them any supplies. Extra Step for Women: Females must undergo two tests to ensure they're not pregnant in a laboratory or doctor's office ahead of the initial prescription, and monthly pregnancy testing prior to every refill. Property pregnancy tests don't count. The medical professional must enter the pregnancy test benefits into the iPLEDGE program, and the woman should acquire her tablets within seven days. * These females also need to agree to use two forms of birth manage although making use of Accutane, and need to self-register on iPLEDGE -- in addition to the doctor's initial registration -- to report that they are doing so. There is no way to know if girls lie in this step, but the FDA sees it as an additional chance to warn of the pills' danger. The last step happens at the pharmacy. The pharmacist need to check the personal computer database prior to filling a prescription to make certain that individuals followed all these rules. The Scope of the Difficulty: The FDA estimates that 100,000 prescriptions for Accutane and generics are filled each and every month. Since Accutane started selling in 1982, the FDA has reports of well more than two,000 pregnancies amongst customers (and possibly far more that have been by no means reported). The vast majority ended in abortion or miscarriage, but the FDA counts much more than 160 babies born with drug-triggered defects..
