subject: Your Accutane Side Effects May Warrant Legal Action Against The Makers Of The Drug [print this page] Roche Pharmaceuticals, the company that manufactured Accutane, removed it from shelves in 2009 after they could no longer ignore the research that revealed some disturbing information about their product. Former patients have learned that while it may have been years since they used the drug that they put themselves at a great risk for serious Accutane side effects, most notably an increased chance of getting an inflammatory bowel disease, which includes conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and more.
Shortly after its initial release in 1982 studies began to show a strong connection between the medication and instances of inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, this research is why Accutane is no longer available in the United States. But Roche only took Accutane off the market after the FDA issued a black box warning related to their product and many feel they should have reacted sooner as even if they couldn't confirm the risks of these Accutane side effects, it would have been possible to avoid the tragedies that these victims are now living with.
In addition to the painful IBD symptoms these patients must deal with on a daily basis, they're also facing medical bills for which they were unprepared to absorb. Some victims have taken the step of filing an Accutane lawsuit against Roche Pharmaceuticals in an attempt to hold the drug company accountable for their carelessness.
