There are so many people that feel if they are prescribed a drug then it must be safe. I mean after all my doctor prescribed it and you got it at the drug store. It has to be safe, doesn’t it? That is a dialogue that you hear so often when people are faced with devastating side effects brought on by medication that they were prescribed. It makes sense that so many people feel this way I mean after all we have a food and drug administration that is suppose to make certain that drugs are safe before they are released onto the market. For one reason or another drugs do get by that are dangerous and the acne medication Accutane is one such drug. You may have heard of the accutane lawsuit on television or in the newspaper. There is a website that has so much information on the lawsuit as well as the drug itself. When you read about what some of these victims are dealing with it will make you think about the drugs that you are prescribed next time you go to the doctor. This drugs side effects include quite a devastating list. Some of the dangerous side effects are: Crohn’s Disease, inflammatory bowel disease,suicidal thoughts, severe depression,pink eye and conjunctivitis, ulcerative colitis, liver failure, abdominal pains, gastrointestinal disorder, rectal bleeding and birth defects. Even though this nodular acne medication was prescribed as a last resort it has still effected many people.
