Accutane Injury Lawyer

Pharmaceutical Litigation Related to Accutane (Isotretinoin)

Accutane (isotretinoin) was first introduced on the market in the early 1980s to treat severe acne. Though the drug was initially considered successful in the treatment of acne, it became evident that it was causing serious side effects. Birth defects, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and suicide are three of the main side effects that were linked to Accutane. The drug was pulled from the U.S. market in 2009.
