FDA WARNING: The Risks of Buying Accutane (Isotretinoin) or Generic Brands Amnesteem, Claravis or Sotret over the Internet

Accutane is a potentially dangerous prescription medicine that should only be taken under the close supervision of your healthcare professional and pharmacist. (The following warning also applies to Amnesteem, Claravis, and Sotret, generic brands of Isotretinoin.)  If you are pregnant or may get pregnant, Accutane can cause birth defects, miscarriage, premature births, and death in babies. Buying Accutane over the Internet bypasses important procedures to ensure that patients can take Accutane safely. When these procedures are ignored, Accutane can cause serious and harmful side effects. Patients taking Accutane may experience side effects including bad headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, stroke, diarrhea, and muscle weakness. Additionally, serious mental health problems, such as depression and suicide, have been reported with Accutane use.

  • You should NEVER buy Accutane (isotretinoin) or any of the generic versions of Accutane without first seeing your healthcare professional.
  • You should NEVER take Accutane (isotretinoin) or any of the generic versions of Accutane if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant or could accidentally become pregnant.
  • Some websites sell prescription drugs without a prescription.
    This is illegal and DANGEROUS.

When you buy drugs over the Internet, especially from sites that don't require a prescription, you may get counterfeit products, products with dangerous ingredients, products that don't work, and products that were not labeled or shipped correctly.
