Accutane Lawsuit Information

Accutane is a prescription acne treatment medication which is used in the treatment of some of the worst
cases of acne to exist. When other acne treatments fail, many doctors have relied on an Accutane
prescription to provide hope where things may seem grim.

However, there has already been several thousand lawsuits filed against the manufacturer of Accutane
(Roche Pharmaceuticals) by patients who have experience the nasty side effects that this prescription
medication is known to come with.

Below are the various names that are used for Accutane.

• Isotretinoin
• Sotrat
• Claravis
• Ratane
• Istane
• Raccutane
• Decutan

How bad are these side effects?

From thought of suicide to Crohn’s Disease, the side effects that are tied to Accutane actually get pretty
severe. That’s why many people around the world will be more than happy to let you know just how
risky this medication is before you become a victim of its side effects.

The side effects are the true cause of a countless number of lawsuits against not only the manufacturer,
but medical professional who prescribed this medication as well. The lawsuits are generally for the
medical costs as well as any other related expenses/losses caused by taking Accutane.

The Current State of Accutane

While Accutane is still being filled through pharmacies all around the country, the FDA has issued a
requirement for a black box warning. This means that all bottles of Accutane must display a clearly
visible warning that educates consumers about the potential side effects.

Not only has the FDA required the black box warning, but it’s also being stressed that any medical
professionals who prescribe Accutane MUST thoroughly educate all of their patients on the risks that
have been associated with Accutane usage.

Anyone who has experienced the side effects of Accutane are strongly encouraged to contact legal
counsel in an effort to seek out the legal options of recovering any losses/expenses that are directly
related to the usage of Accutane.
