Headaches on Accutane?
Question:
Answers:
I'd talk to you doctor about it... Accutane has a lot of side effects. My hands would dry out and crack and bleed. I'd get random bloody noses and red eyes. I'd get bad headaches sometimes too. Let your doctor know whats going on and see if you need to back down on the dosage.
Accutane's History
In the months after accutane's commercial release in 1982 it became evident that something was seriously wrong. By 1983 a number of public consumer groups began a
petition asking the FDA to force La Roche to include warning information with the drug.
These concerns escalated to cause another petition calling for an Accutane ban in 1988. Current statistics suggest that about 25 percent of Accutane pregnancy births
result in serious birth defects and 50 percent of the Accutane pregnancy births result in mental disability.
