Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a medication used to treat severe acne and is linked to serious birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Due to this risk, prescribers and pharmacies must register with the iPLEDGE program, a specific web-based system designed to ensure that patients receive appropriate counseling about the risks and appropriate use of the medication. The other medications listed (ibuprofen, isoniazid, isoflurane) do not require registration with a specific website.
