Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic that activates alpha 1 receptors and causes vasoconstriction.

Isotretinoin or Accutane has been prescribed to treat severe, difficult to control acne. A form of vitamin A, the medicine is part of a class of drugs called retinoids and is used to treat severe acne that does not clear up after using other medications.

Isotretinoin (Accutane) has demonstrated teratogenic effects and must not be used during pregnancy. All-female patients must use two effective forms of birth control and have one negative pregnancy test result before monthly refills. iPLEDGE is a risk-management program used by the prescriber, pharmacist, and patient to ensure that the patient will not become pregnant while taking isotretinoin. Triglyceride levels should be measured periodically, because they may become elevated with the treatment. Depression and suicide are rare effects without direct causal links to isotretinoin, but patients should still be taught to report any signs of depression to a clinician."
