By reducing oil production, Accutane literally starves the acne bacteria to death. P. Acnes, the bacteria that causes acne, feeds on this excess oil. But if you’ve got acne, your sebaceous glands are into overdrive. Due to the unacceptably-high number of patients experiencing these serious side effects, Accutane was withdrawn from the market by Hoffman-La Roche in June of 2009. The generic equivalents are still available and are still being prescribed. Unfortunately, many of the patients treated with Accutane, including those in Massachusetts, have suffered serious side effects as a result. Does Accutane Have Any Side Effects? Most steroid side effects only occur when people take prednisone long-term. Overall, approximately 13 million people have used Accutane or its generic equivalents, including many patients in Massachusetts. The side effects have led to permanent conditions requiring extensive treatment, including surgery. These serious side effects include ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, liver damage, depression, and suicide. If you have been prescribed Accutane and experienced serious side effects such as ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, you may have the legal right to seek compensation for medical care, lost earnings, and pain and suffering caused by Accutane.
