Accutane and depression: Is there a link?

For several years, there has been debate over whether Accutane
(isotretinoin), a drug prescribed for serious cases of acne, could be
causing depression that results in suicide in teenagers taking this
powerful medication. Turn to Chapter 13, where I take on this con-
troversial debate about this drug and its generic formulations.
Lots of kids with acne who have never taken Accutane are
depressed. Moreover, since Accutane was introduced in 1982, it’s
likely that depression during this time has decreased in those who
sorely needed the drug and were successfully treated with it.

  1. I think theres no link because only depressed teenagers use accutane but accutane still is a dangerous medicine so first use a sample I do that with free viagra samples to prevent any complications
