Accutane
Accutane (manufactured by Hoffman-La Roche) is the trade name for Isotretinoin, a drug used to treat severe acne that is unresponsive to antibiotic treatment. This drug is used as a “last resort” type drug due to its very dangerous potential side-effects. Those side effects include:
- Ulcerative colitis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Severe depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Birth defects
- Liver damage, with symptoms of nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin)
- Allergic reaction to isotretinoin, resulting in liver disease and other health complications
If you or a loved one has suffered from one or more of these side effects as a result of taking Accutane, you may be entitled to compensation. Call us at (478) 745-9002 for a free consultation.
