For nearly 30 years, Accutane was a widely prescribed medication given to those dealing with severe acne. While embarrassing, even the worst acne doesn't pose long term health issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, for many, their use of Accutane has posed those health concerns. Studies done on the medication have revealed devastating Accutane side effects that have since led to the drug being taken off the shelves by Roche Pharmaceuticals.
While some patients are still trying to obtain Accutane from other countries via the internet, the FDA strongly advises against this. The potential Accutane side effects include various forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Individuals diagnosed with Accutane Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis learn that there is no cure for their condition. It seems hard to believe that a medication prescribed to treat something like acne could lead to such serious health problems and that's something many feel Roche Pharmaceuticals should be held accountable for.
This is why many former patients are hiring attorneys in order to move forward with an Accutane lawsuit. They're claiming that the failure of Roche Pharmaceuticals to adequately warn patients about the potential for these Accutane side effects was negligent and as a result the drug company should compensate victims. Individuals with an inflammatory bowel disease caused by Accutane are faced with medical bills they cannot afford and those bills only continue to grow over time.
