Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis fall under the IBD umbrella and are chronic and painful conditions that may result from taking this bad drug. The symptoms can vary from weight loss, bloody diarrhea, fever, and even bowel cancer and bleeding ulcers. In very serious cases, surgery may be required to remove sections of the bowel. Ulcerative colitis can be very difficult to treat and is life altering due to painful ulcers in the colon and rectum. Crohn's disease is also difficult to treat and can cause pain, cramping, bleeding from the rectum that can lead to anemia, problems with the skin and even malnutrition. There is no cure for the disease at this time and Accutane has been shown to aggravate and even cause this condition.Women taking Accutane have an astounding 30% chance of having a baby with a birth defect if taking the drug while pregnant. Serious birth defects caused by this drug include heart problems, cleft palate, deformities of the brain and even the infant's death. In fact the FDA put a program in place to combat this inordinately high risk. In 2006 the iPledge program was created which required a woman taking the drug Accutane to take two types of birth control and have a pregnancy test each month throughout their pregnancy.As the number of reported cases rose regarding suicide and depression, the FDA put a suicide warning on the drug in 1999. In fact they had it listed as the 5th highest drug that can contribute to depression.
