Description
Accutane (also known as isotretinoin) is prescribed by dermatologists as a last resort for people with severe, disfiguring acne. It is manufactured by Roche Pharmaceuticals. Its known side effects include increased sensitivity to sunlight and birth defects. Women are warned not to get pregnant while taking Accutane.
According to USA Today, approximately 66 cases of suicide and over 1,300 cases of psychiatric problems associated with the use of Accutane have been reported to the FDA as of December 2000. In April 2002, Roche Pharmaceuticals was served with a $70 million lawsuit claiming the medicine caused severe psychosis. Recent studies show a possible link between Accutane and an increased risk of colon cancer.
If you have experienced a serious medical condition that you believe may be linked to Accutane, please call us for further information about the various side effects concerning this drug and a possible claim against the manufacturer.
