subject: Unaware Of The Possible Accutane Side Effects, Former Patients Are Now Taking Legal Action [print this page] Released in 1982, Accutane was advertised as a solution to severe acne and though it proved to be effective in many cases, subsequent research revealed Accutane side effects are far more serious than patients have been told. Roche Pharmaceuticals failed to provide warnings about all of the potential Accutane side effects that patients were risking when they took the medication to treat their severe acne. This is something that many view as negligence on the part of the company and that they should be held accountable. It's estimated that over 16 million people used Accutane to treat their acne when it was available but having since learned that taking the drug put them at an increased risk for inflammatory bowel disease, as many studies have now shown, has made these patients understandably upset.
Regardless of the type of inflammatory bowel disease that a former Accutane patient is diagnosed with, they will be told that they have a condition with no permanent cure. This means that they will have a need for treatment throughout life and even then the best they can hope for is a slowing down of the progression of their painful IBD symptoms. Anyone that has ever had to pay for extensive medical care can attest to the financial challenges they're likely to face after their medical bills begin to pile up.
