Press Release Body: Accutane May Cause Birth Defects Despite Risk Management System
Atlanta, Georgia, 12/15/2007 - Department of research writing at ACNE HOME reports a
research conducted on birth defects caused by Accutane in spite of employing risk
management system.

According to March of Dimes Foundation, "It\'s certainly a positive step that FDA and
the drug manufacturers have made this information publicly available, so that the
iPledge program can be properly evaluated,\" said Michael Katz, M.D., senior vice
president for Research and Global Programs of the March of Dimes. \"Although no human
system will ever be perfect, the goal is to prevent birth defects to the fullest
extent possible. No woman should ever take isotretinoin while pregnant and no woman
should get pregnant while taking isotretinoin. Too many pregnancies still are being
exposed to this drug".

Isotretinoin is chemically related to vitamin A or more precisely, isotretinoin is a
derivative of natural vitamin A. The most common birth defect by accutane or
isotretinoin are mental retardation, brain and heart defects, defect in esophagus
and alimentary canals etc. There may be other risks, so do consult your physician
first and apprise him or her about your family history and what they ask for best
prevention of birth defects like mental retardation.
