ACCUTANE®

Accutane® Information

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 worldwide, becoming Hoffman-La Roche's largest selling drug. However, over the last 20 years the patients who took Accutane® have suffered a wide variety of terrible side effects from the drug, including birth defects to children, miscarriages, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. In addition, a number of Accutane® patients have committed suicide or developed serious psychological instabilities while taking the drug. Hoffman-La Roche knew about potential side effects even 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. If you, a friend, or a loved one has taken Accutane® and experienced any of these harmful side effects, please schedule a consultation with the personal injury lawyers at our office in San Diego.
