For people that suffer from severe acne there has been a medication prescribed that has serious long term side effects. It is called Accutane. There has been a link between accutane and ulcerative colitis as well as many other serious heath issues. Some of the health issues linked with this medication are Crohn’s Disease, suicidal thoughts, depression and birth defects. Before taking any medication we have to do our research. We can not assume that if the drug is on the market and being prescribed for us that it is safe for us. This assumption can cost you your health. It can lead you down a path of heath issues that these people are suffering from. There is a website that can give you the information you need and answer many questions you may have. The computer is a good when it comes to doing research on any new drug you are prescribed before you take it. Do your research and ask questions. You are protecting your health and nothing is more important then that. Use all of your resources such as your doctor , pharmacists and your computer to gather as much information as you can. Information is power.
