...Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week tightened restrictions on the prescription acne medication Accutane (isotretinoin) and its generic equivalents. The drug has long been known to cause birth defects, and in 2002, Accutane's manufacturer, Roche, had put a program in place to further limit fetal exposure.

Indeed, any attempt to clear one’s head and get some fresh air is foiled by the unchecked proliferation of tinsel. The best part: these little pre-fabricated, plasticized pieces of pure pleasure won’t go away for weeks. When it comes to commercial Christmas decorations, the silver lining isn?...
ACCUTANE This drug works wonders for severe acne when all else fails. Doctors have long known, however, that Accutane (generic name: isotretinoin) can cause birth defects in pregnant women. Indeed, the drug comes with a black-box warning, the strongest available to the FDA, to that effect. But each year several women still become pregnant while...
