I am just reading up on the famed Accutane Lawsuit now. It seems that this was a very controversial case back in 2009 when it was ordered to be pulled out from the market. A cure for acne turned out to cause more problems than solutions. Accutane is an acne treatment created by Hoffman La Roche, a United States drug manufacturer. It is a synthetic form of Vitamin A that is made to alleviate severe acne symptoms. The La Roche Group is a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer bringing in $1.2 billion annually just for sales of Accutane. The way Accutane effectively treats acne causes side effects such as weak skin, Alopecia, depression, suicidal tendencies, birth defects, miscarriages, back pain, joint pain, dry mucus membranes, pink eye, dryness of the eye, vision problems, ringing in the ear, psychosis, liver damage, anaphylaxis, erectile dysfunction, aggressive behavior, bone loss, heart attack, stroke, seizures, lowered white blood cell count, inflammatory bowel disease, and allergic vasculitis. This has sparked much controversy over the drug and caused many lawsuits against medical professionals and Hoffman La Roche as well.

Legal assistance is available to those who used Accutane. If you were prescribed Accutane and experienced severe side effects following use of the medication, you may wish to file a lawsuit to cover the cost of medical expenses and compensate for the pain and suffering caused by the adverse effects of the drug.
