Which of the following medications was the IPLEDGE program designed for?

Isotretinoin
Thalidomide
Clozapine
Alosetron

Explanation

Answer: A - The IPLEDGE program was designed to prevent the adverse effects of isotretinoin. Isotretinoin, the generic name for Accutane, can cause teratogenic effects in the fetus if taken by pregnant women. The IPLEDGE system requires patients to answer monthly questionnaires about potential pregnancy, and requires women of childbearing age to use two types of birth control to prevent the occurrence of pregnancy.
