I have heard that the drug Accutane is dangerous. Why is it still used for acne? Accutane is a brand name of the acne medication isotretinoin. Is it an extremely important medication for the treatment of severe acne in children and adults. The medication has received a lot of bad press lately associating the drug with an increase in teen depression. A recently published study, however, did not find this association to be valid. Isotretinoin is a very safe medication that has been used in millions of patients over the last 20 years. If your dermatologist determines that isotretinoin is the appropriate treatment for you, she will monitor the potential side effects closely to prevent any problems from the medication. | |||||||||
