I have warned previously about the risks associated with the acne drug Accutane, but it seems I fell short of the facts.  It's even worse than I thought back then!

A new study suggests that as well as causing defects of the brain and heart in babies if their Mothers take it while pregnant, the figures for higher triglycerides, cholesterol and liver enzymes were startling.

Law suits are also pending over the connection between Accutane and teen suicide.

What to do?  Try natural approaches to the problem first - often dietary changes and certain supplements will take care of the problem.
