subject: An Accutane Lawsuit Should Be Considered By Anyone That Is Suffering As A Result Of The Medication [print this page] After many former users of the acne medication Accutane learned that their use of the drug increased the chances they'd get an inflammatory bowel disease, they began to explore legal action. Filing an Accutane lawsuit against the makers of the drug, Roche Pharmaceuticals, has proven to be the only way these former patients have been able to get the financial assistance they need in paying for the extensive medical treatment for the inflammatory bowel disease. Once the more severe Accutane side effects were known, which included inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, and the FDA issued a black box warning about the drug, Roche took it off the shelves in 2009.
Many who took Accutane years ago to treat their acne and now suffer from an inflammatory bowel disease weren't aware of the connection until hearing about an Accutane lawsuit that was filed by another former patient. Anyone with a history of Accutane use needs to be on the lookout for potential IBD symptoms, which include things like sudden weight loss, abdominal cramps, rectal bleeding and severe diarrhea. A doctor should be seen immediately if any of these IBD symptoms manifest because while there is no cure for an inflammatory bowel disease, treatment is available that will slow down the progression of the condition. That being said, the costs of the treatment often lead to financial problems for these individuals which is why they consider filing an Accutane lawsuit.
Taking on Roche Pharmaceuticals in an Accutane lawsuit is something that can be a challenge and when added on top of everything else these victims are dealing with, it often seems like too much to handle. But it's important that the drug company be held accountable for the suffering they've caused so many who used their product and that can be done with an Accutane lawsuit. This is why it's so crucial that if you or someone you know is considering taking this step that an experienced Accutane attorney is consulted.
