Accutane Pulled from Market

 

Roche Holiding AG, makers of Accutane acne medication stopped selling their product on June 26, 2009.   This follows several juries awarding millions in damages to Accutane users who blamed the drug for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.   Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an ongoing health problem that causes inflammation and swelling in the digestive tract.  It can cause severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.  There are two main types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

If you are a user of Accutane who has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, you may have a product liability claim.  If so, please feel free to contact our firm and we will assist you with evaluating your potential product liability claim.
