When someone is diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, they will be informed that if they have a history of Accutane use, that the medication was likely a contributing factor. A significant number of the estimated 16 million people who used Accutane to treat their severe acne when it was still available on the market now have Crohn's disease or other forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Having the condition means that a person's life is forever altered because there is no cure and as a result, they'll need Crohns treatment indefinitely. But the costs of that ongoing Crohns treatment is making the situation that much more difficult to go through for these past users of Accutane.
While early attempts at Crohns disease treatment will include anti-inflammatory medications and a change of diet, as the condition worsens over time, patients will often need to undergo Crohn's surgery. It's hard for many of these victims to believe that they require this kind of medical care as the result of medication they took several years ago to treat something as relatively minor as acne. They want to know why they weren't given Accutane warnings by the makers of the drug, Roche Pharmaceuticals.
