What is Accutane?
Accutane, also known by the generic name isotretinoin, is marketed and sold by Hoffman-LaRoche. Accutane is a drug prescribed to treat very severe forms of acne, such as cystic or nodular acne. These forms of acne can result in many swollen, red bumps on the skin that may cause significant physical pain and scarring if not properly treated. Due to the possibly significant negative side effects of Accutane, the drug is normally used as a last resort when other forms of acne treatment including the use of over the counter products or prescription antibiotics have not been successful in treating the acne.
