Accutane No Longer Sold
Wednesday July 1, 2009
Accutane's maker, Roche, is no longer selling the popular acne drug. The company said sales had been slowing as more people turned to generic alternatives.
Accutane was introduced in 1982; generic versions have been available since 2002.
If you're using Accutane, there's no need to panic. Your pharmacy may still have it, at least for a while. In the meantime, your doctor will probably switch you to generic isotretinoin, Claravis, Sotret, or Amnesteem.
