Accutane® & Intestinal Problems?

The popular acne medication Accutane® has been linked to serious and painful intestinal problems such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Symptoms of IBD include abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, fever, weight loss, and bleeding. Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease are two severe forms of IBD, and both can be life-threatening.

Who is to Blame?

Although Accutane was pulled from the US market in June 2009, its manufacturer, Roche Pharmaceuticals, is facing hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits. The main argument is that Roche should have known or actually knew of the fact that their drug caused such side effects, yet allegedly hid that fact from prescribing physicians. Juries have been very condemning of this and respond by giving plaintiffs large awards to punish the company for its flagrant behavior.

Today, generic versions of the drug including Amnesteem™, Claravis™, and Sotret® are still sold.
