I don't think the article says what it was, but I would be willing to bet that it was Accutane. I know my doctor was pretty serious about prescribing the stuff - she wanted to make sure every single other medication was tried before she even considered it. Then read the entire 7 page booklet to me that came with the medication that described the side effects.
Can't remember if the pharmacy did the same.
Eventually I got daily nose bleeds from it after a month and a half of taking it. Then I stopped.
