I just saw 2 days ago on TV that accutane did a recall and if you got cetain diseases to call them....here is a article I found:

Accutane Recall

Accutane (isotretinoin), a popular acne medication introduced in the early 1980s, has an extensive history of dangerous side effects and public scrutiny. While Accutane has been touted by some as a miracle drug for those with severe acne, a growing body of evidence has shown the drug's potential to cause several serious effects including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), birth defects and suicide, among others.
Accutane's Withdrawal from the U.S. Market

In light of these findings, Accutane's questionable safety profile has drawn a great deal of criticism from lawmakers, health care professionals and the general public alike.
In response to this mounting bad press, the maker of the drug, Roche Pharmaceuticals, quietly pulled Accutane from the U.S. market and those of 11 other countries in 2009. The company did not cite the medication's side effects as the reason for the discontinuation, but instead maintained the withdrawal was initiated because of growing competition from generics and a burdening string of Accutane lawsuits against the company.
If you have experienced serious side effects following the use of Accutane you may have legal options to seek compensation to cover the cost of medical expenses, pain and suffering. For additional information about Accutane lawsuits, please call 1-800-439-8180 or fill out the form on this page.

What is Accutane?

Accutane is an oral drug called which was developed by the Hoffman LaRoche Company for treatment of the most severe forms of acne such as nodule acne. The generic versions of Accutane are Roaccutane, Isotretinoin, Amnesteem, Claravis, and Sotret.

What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

Inflammatory bowel disease - IBD (which is not the same thing as irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS) refers to two chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the intestines: Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease. Although the diseases have some features in common, there are some important differences.
What is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine, also called the colon. In ulcerative colitis, the inner lining – or mucosa - of the intestine becomes inflamed (meaning the lining of the intestinal wall reddens and swells) and develops ulcers (an ulcer is a sore, which means it's an open, painful wound). Ulcerative colitis is often the most severe in the rectal area, which can cause frequent diarrhea. Mucus and blood often appear in the stool (feces or poop) if the lining of the colon is damaged.
What is Crohn's Disease?

Crohn's disease differs from ulcerative colitis in the areas of the bowel it involves - it most commonly affects the last part of the small intestine (called the terminal ileum ) and parts of the large intestine. However, Crohn's disease isn't limited to these areas and can attack any part of the digestive tract. Crohn's disease causes inflammation that extends much deeper into the layers of the intestinal wall than ulcerative colitis does. Crohn's disease generally tends to involve the entire bowel wall, whereas ulcerative colitis affects only the lining of the bowel.

Whoa, good info Pyes

I watch Pumping Iron again the other day and not one of them guys had a single pimple on their tanned arses. What were they using back then?

Btw thanks for the article Pyes, I was going to search for acutane but now i might try the alternatives.

np, remember accutane is sold under 5 or so different names,,,,so be careful...I am fairly certain you could take it for a short period of time with no issues, but better safe then sorry.

I went to the doc today and showed him my nasty acne breakout on my shoulder, when he looked at it he was quite baffled so I told him that I'd taken test and that acne is a common side effect.
He insists that it is not acne and he has given me a script for a steroid cream called "sigmacort ointment." I researched this stuff and some of the sides are acne and high blood pressure.

Has anybody ever used this stuff? I don't even think it's worth trying.

This is interesting, please keep us updated. If the shit works, I want it.

Accutane is a miracle drug for acne. When it first came out they were using WAY too high of doses to treat people. It was later discovered that low doses worked well and had less side effects. 20mg of accutane daily for 4-6 months cures acne forever in many cases.

How many cycles did it take to get "nasty acne?". Are you positive it's a side of the gear? And when did you start to notice the acne getting worse? That steroid cream is common protocol among docs. I had a dry patch on my arm. They gave me five different types of creams and did two biopsies but nothing. I heard from other people that cream is basically what they give to everyone until they figure out from a biopsy or other means exactly what the issue is. If it cures it great. If not then they try something else.

This is my first cycle and I have been experiencing acne from about week six however after my last shot of enanth I happened to over-indulge in one big meal at McDonalds and a shitload of chocolate afterwards ( I was pissed off because a painfull shoulder injury is preventing me from training properly), coincidently I broke out in hundreds if little pimples two days later on the same shoulder I pinned.
I hadn't had any junkfood or chocolate for two years so I'm certain that it was the chocolate that caused the outbreak.

I'm due for PCT shortly so I'll try the cream and if it works I'll post the results in this thread.

PS. Two years and not one chocolate, cake or any type of sweet... my taste buds were having one big orgasm! I forgot how good that shit was.

I'm not a fan of sweets, fortunately, so hopefully I don't run into that issue. I can't even remember the last time I had chocolate. I think I lost my sweet tooth in my upper teens. I probably more ate sweets than any kid I know b/c my parents were never around. It wasn't uncommon for me to eat a twix and a soda for dinner. The idea of that now grosses me out now. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you get the acne figured out.

I've tried itall (besides accutane) and eventhough it not that that bad it's really annoying. I was on 100mg of var ED and I was fine until the end of my cycle. Big hard deep bastards. Painfull too. Efin hate it! No matter how much u wash it wnt help if it's from the sauce. The only thing u can do is only go for the acne free steroids and lower dosage. Good luck bud
