The restricted drug distribution program iPLEDGE is for the medication:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: iPLEDGE is a specialized program designed to prevent fetal exposure to isotretinoin, a potent acne treatment known for its teratogenic effects.
Option A, Dofetilide, is an antiarrhythmic medication that does not require a restricted distribution program. Option B, Thalidomide, while also associated with serious risks, is managed under a different program called STEPS. Option C, Clozapine, is an antipsychotic monitored for agranulocytosis but does not fall under iPLEDGE. Thus, isotretinoin is uniquely linked to iPLEDGE due to its stringent safety requirements for pregnancy prevention.
