Who should not take Accutane?
Do not take Accutane if you are pregnant,
plan to become pregnant, or become pregnant
during Accutane treatment. Accutane causes
severe birth defects. All females should
read the section "What are the important
warnings for females taking Accutane?" for
more information and warnings about Accutane
and pregnancy.
Do not take Accutane unless you completely understand its possible risks and are willing to follow all of the instructions in this Medication Guide.
Tell your prescriber if you or someone in your family has had any kind of mental
problems, asthma, liver disease, diabetes, heart disease,
osteoporosis (bone loss), weak bones, anorex a nervosa (an eating
disorder where people eat
too little), or any other important health problems.
Tell
your prescriber about any food or drug
allergies you have had in the past. These
problems do not necessarily mean you cannot
take Accutane, but your prescriber needs
this information to discuss if Accutane is
right for you.
