Why Was This Drug Not Taken Off the Market Sooner?

Despite evidence of its dangerous side effects, Accutane was not taken off the market until 2009. Part of the problem is that many incurable inflammatory diseases can take years to develop and show significant symptoms. While there was a great deal of speculation concerning the correlation between Accutane and incurable inflammatory disease, hard evidence did not come about until recently.

It is important to note that while Accutane is no longer sold, generic versions of the drug are still on the market. Whenever your doctor prescribes medication, it is very important to discuss its potential side effects in detail.
