 Experienced Accutane
Lawyers
Manufactured by Roche
USA Pharmaceuticals since the early 1980's, Accutane
was developed to treat severe nodular acne. However,
the use of Accutane has been linked with serious
side effects. Those include:
- Birth Defects:
If taken while pregnant, miscarriages or
premature births can occur. It can also cause
deformities in babies.
- Mental Problems
and Suicide: Some patients have suffered,
either while taking Accutane or after stopping,
from depression or have developed serious mental
problems.
Accutane side effect
symptoms include feeling sad, anxious, angry,
irritable, a loss of pleasure or interest in social
or sports activities, sleeping too much or not
enough, changes in weight or appetite, drop in
school or work performance, trouble concentrating.
Some symptoms have become so severe that people have
committed suicide.
According to USA
Today, approximately 66 cases of suicide and over
1300 cases of psychiatric problems by Accutane users
have been reported to the FDA as of December 2000.
In 1986, Accutane's warning label stated some
potential risk of depression linked to the drug.
French officials required the manufacturer to add
the risk of suicide to its European packaging in
1997. The FDA did not require the US version to be
modified until 1999.
Finally, in 2001, the
FDA announced that new warning labels and consent
forms would be required for Accutane users. The form
urges patients to watch for signs of depression.
