Accutane -- Are the Side Effects Worth being Acne-Free?

Accutane, originally a chemotherapy drug used to treat various cancers, is a synthetic form of vitamin A that is used to treat serious acne -- the type that causes scarring. Extensive litigation has been filed concerning Accutane side effects, which include Crohn's Disease, inflammatory bowel disease, birth defects, and suicide. Accutane is not only one of top 3 drugs on the market with reports of adverse events, but also one of Hoffman La Roche's top sellers with about $1.2 billion in annual sales.
