Some of the most dramatic side effects affect women who have taken Accutane while they were pregnant. Accutane can cause serious birth defects in babies, lead to a higher risk of miscarriage, premature deliveries and death of the baby at birth.

In fact, the risks are so high that a woman who does get pregnant while on isotretinoin must be prepared to have an abortion and must state this in writing before many physicians will even prescribe isotretinoin for her.

Mental problems and suicidal thoughts have also been linked to Accutane. The challenge is in determining whether Accutane was a contributing factor or if those thoughts and feelings would have been there even without the drug.
