In the early 1980's, Hoffman-La Roche developed a new drug to treat severe acne conditions that would not respond to antibiotic treatments. Accutane was considered a breakthrough against acne and has been prescribed to millions world-wide becoming Hoffman La-Roche's largest selling drug. However, over the last 20+ years patients who took Accutane have suffered a wide variety of terrible side effects including birth defect to their children, miscarriages, Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Additionally, Accutane has recently become known for the number of patients who have committed suicide or developed serious psychological instabilities while taking the drug. The problem is that Hoffman-La Roche allegedly knew about potential side effects before the drug was released on the market. It is only recently that the FDA has forced Hoffman-La Roche to create Accutane warning labels that accurately list the potential side effects.
Unfortunately, these disclosures come too late for thousands of Accutane users who are only now discovering that the drug they trusted to help them overcome acne was affecting them in dangerous ways. Anyone who has taken Accutane and is experiencing these side effects, or anyone with family, friends or loved ones who have taken Accutane and are starting to suffer from side effects can use this section as a valuable resource. You'll learn more about the dangerous side effects associated with Accutane and the legal rights of those injured by this harmful drug.
