ACCUTANE (ISOTRETINOIN)

Accutane is prescribed for the treatment of severe, disfiguring cystic acne that has not resolved in response to milder medications such as antibiotics. It works on the oil glands within the skin, shrinking them and diminishing their output. It is orally everyday for several months and then stopped. The anti-acne effect produced by Accutane can last even after finishing a course of medication. Accutane, generically known as Isotretinoin, is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin A.

Accutane may cause birth defects, depression, psychosis and suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, suicide and aggressive or violent behaviors. It has been associated with a number of cases of benign intracranial hypertension. It has many systemic side effects including inflammatory bowel disease, and damage to the liver, kidneys, central nervous system, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, musculosketal system, and the auto-immune system of the human body. Many side effects are permanent and severe.

If you, or a family member, have taken Accutane and think that you or your family member may be suffering from its side effects, please call Lanham & Blackwell, P.A., for assistance and more information. We are an experienced law firm that can help you in protecting your legal rights and holding negligent parties responsible.
