On June 29 2009, Roche Pharmaceuticals, pulled Accutane off the market due to the increasing costs of defending lawsuits filed by users who were experiencing serious side effects after taking the drug.

The use of Accutane has been associated with the following types of gastrointestinal conditions:

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Ulcerative Proctitus

Other side effects and symptoms include:

  • stomach cramps
  • rectal bleeding
  • excessive diarrhea
  • blood in stool
  • yellowing of the skin

From 1997 to 2002, the FDA received close to 100 reports of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that were believed to be associated with the use of the common acne drug Accutane. In nearly all the cases, the agency determined it was "very probable" or "probable" that Accutane had caused the patients to develop the disease.

 

Accutane & Side Effects Links

Recent medical studies in both the US and in England have been evaluating the link between the use of Accutane and severe gastrointestinal side effects.

Thousands of people have developed severe medical conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn's Disease after taking Accutane. The health risk eventually lead to the manufacturer pulling the drug off of the market in June of 2009.
