subject: With The Help Of An Experienced Accutane Attorney You Can Take Action Against Roche Pharmaceuticals [print this page] People with a history of Accutane use who are now experiencing the symptoms of an inflammatory bowel disease have learned that there is likely a connection. Research has shown that among the most serious of the previously unknown Accutane side effects is an increased risk for inflammatory bowel diseases. But the discovery of this link is something that was not acknowledged by the makers of the drug, Roche Pharmaceuticals, until 2009 when they finally took it off the shelves following a black box warning from the FDA. Unfortunately, Accutane had been on the market since 1982, which means millions took the drug without knowing that they were greatly increasing their chances of coming down with an inflammatory bowel disease.
Many former patients have decided to enlist the services of an Accutane attorney have learned of the negligence that Roche showed in regards to their lack of Accutane warnings, particularly because some believe the drug company was aware of the potential risks years earlier. These former patients feel that Roche should be held accountable for their medical expenses, which are substantial since there is no cure for these inflammatory bowel diseases and thus treatment is required indefinitely. An Accutane lawsuit can lead to financial compensation which will assist in the medical expenses.
Living with an inflammatory bowel disease is extremely difficult, particularly as it progresses and becomes worse over time. It's common for people with an inflammatory bowel disease to be forced to leave work because they are constantly visiting the doctor or simply unable to handle their IBD symptoms. This only increases the financial burden they're facing as a result of the medical expenses associated with treatment. These are consequences these individuals could have never expected when they used Accutane years ago to treat their acne.

Fortunately, recent legal decisions have proved that these cases can be won and more victims are stepping forward to pursue litigation of their own. The Law Offices of Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, PC, are a nationally recognized firm that has helped former Accutane users pursue litigation and have been successful in helping them get the financial compensation they deserve.
