Doctors stress that a powerful drug prescribed to fight acne needs to be taken under strict guidelines to prevent serious harm to a fetus, as a new study commissioned by Health Canada points to many failures in preventing pregnancy. Isotretinoin was commonly sold as Accutane when it entered the market in Canada in 1983 to treat severe acne, which can cause scarring such as pockmarks. The medication is now available as Accutane Roche and in several generic forms. It's also prescribed for more moderate cases.
