Don’t Buy Accutane Online, Warns FDA

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against buying the acne drug Accutane (isotretinoin) online. The agency has set up a web page to inform consumers at http://www.fda.gov/buyonline/accutane. The page is said to pop up when people search the web for Accutane or its generic versions. [I did test this on a Google search for Accutane and the government’s web warning is the number one result.] Because the drug has been linked to severe birth defects, serious mental health problems such as depression and suicide, and liver damage, the FDA wants to tighten access to Accutane.
