Default Roaccutane (accutane) results in brain damage!!

Roaccutane (Accutane) has shown to alter brain function in all teenagers that were scanned after exposure to the toxin. Roaccutane also is found to lower the levels of several hormones such as thyroid hormone and dihydrotestosterone, which is likely to give problems later in life, because the hormonal levels fall naturally.

Roaccutane is found to have at least around 50 known side-effects including severe eye related disorders.

Whatever you take - do not take Accutane!
