Further Studies
Further studies need to be undertaken by Roche and/ or Dermatologists to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which Accutane interacts with the Central Nervous System and other systems in the body. This would give an insight into the cause (s) of the specific side effects.
Roche have stated publicly for the past 17 years
‘we do not know the mechanism by which the drug works therefore there is no proof that Accutane causes depression or psychiatric disorders’
