The other day I decided to search the internet for online pharmacies
that could sell me Isotretinoin. I've never looked before, so I didn't
know what I would find. I knew there are lots of foreign pharmacies. I
guessed that at least some are not very reputable (probably those that
scream "Buy [mind-altering-drug] here, no prescription needed!"). I was
looking because I was curious to see what options I have if I need to
self-medicate (although I certainly hope that is not required).
On a few of the foreign pharmacies, I saw a notice like this: "We
apologize for any inconvenience it may cause, but we are no longer able
to ship Accutane--Isotretinoin--to the U.S.A.".
One of these websites lists Accutane along with "barbituates, morphine
derivatives" as drugs they will not sell. That's how far this hysteria
has gone.
There are still a bunch of other web sites that will still ship it to
the USA (including those told to me by a fellow poster). Still, I find
this alarming. Now I wonder if Isotretinoin will someday become
unavailable even through foreign online pharmacies. Will I have to move
to the UK (or someplace else) to guarantee that I can keep up a
low-dose Isotretinoin regimen?
