Accutane

I need to check with my son, about the treatments he took for his horrible acne.   A scientific study, conducted and published in 2006, established that taking Accutane increases the risk of contracting inflammatory bowel disease. Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis are types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affect the colon and other parts of the digestive tract.  IBD involves inflammation and ulcers in that can result in cramping, pain, diarrhea, bleeding, and frequent bowel movements.
This product is a form of vitamin A used to treat severe, cystic acne and is usually given after other acne medicines or antibiotics have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.  A published study reviewed all cases of IBD diseases (like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that were linked to Accutane and reported to the FDA.  In a five-year period, 85 cases were reported.  In four of the cases it was determined that it was “highly probable” that Accutane was the cause.  In addition, 58 cases a link between Accutane use and IBD was deemed “probable.”  Due to these and other serious side effects, Accutane was taken off the market in 2009.  If you suffer from these injuries, you may have a valid  Accutane lawsuit
 against the manufacturers of Accutane.  It is important to contact a legal counsel about this product.
