Can an acne medication make you kill yourself? If it is Accutane, the answer is “yes.”
Kevin Caruso and Suicide.org have released a critical report entitled “Never use Accutane; it can Kill You.”
The information in this report can save your life, or the life of a loved one.
So please read it and tell others about it.
And understand this: A trip to the dermatologist for a mild case of acne should not be a death sentence, but for many people, including some young teens, it is.
Here are some excerpts from this important report:
Never use Accutane; it can Kill You: A Critical Report on the Dangers of Accutane
by Kevin Caruso
There are many reasons why you and your loved ones should not use Accutane; but the most important reason is this: it can cause you to die by suicide.
So, DO NOT use Accutane, under any circumstances, and DO NOT allow your loved ones to use Accutane.
Period.
There are innumerable SAFE alternatives to Accuatane, so you and your loved ones do not need to use it. Ever.
The drug was introduced in 1982 and is manufactured by Roche. It is a strong acne medication and is supposed to be used for severe acne as a “treatment of last resort.” But many dermatologists prescribe Accutane for mild or moderate cases of acne without even trying an alternative treatment first.
Accutane can cause severe, and even tragic, side effects and psychiatric problems, including birth defects, miscarriage, fetal death, Crohn’s disease, central nervous system injuries, cardiovascular injuries, bone and muscle loss, ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, immune system disorder, depression, and suicide.
In September 1983, Public Citizen, a national non-profit public interest organization, petitioned the FDA for warning labels because of the high risk of these side effects.
In 1986, Roche changed Accutane’s package insert to indicate that some users reported symptoms of depression.
In 1988, Public Citizen petitioned the FDA for a ban on Accutane.
In 1997, French health authorities required Roche to add a warning to their package insert indicating the possibility of suicide to the list of Accutane’s possible side effects; but Roche did not inform the FDA about this action.
In May 2000, Bart Stupak, Jr., son of Congressman Bart Stupak, died by suicide by shooting himself in the head. Representative Stupak would later say that Accutane was the cause for his 17-year-old son’s suicide.
