Accutane Attorneys

Accutane is prescribed for the treatment of severe, disfiguring cystic acne that has not cleared up in response to milder medications such as antibiotics. Recently, Accutane has been a hot topic because of the serious risk of side effects and suicides attributed to it. The FDA warned physicians prescribing the acne medication to be aware of any signs of depression their patients might display.

Accutane manufacturer has warned physicians that the acne drug can possibly cause "depression, psychotic symptoms, and rarely suicide attempts," but still the company maintains they believe the drug is safe and that there is no evidence that Accutane is responsible for depression or suicidal tendencies. In addition to suicide and depression, Accutane carries high risk of serious birth defects, including deformed babies, miscarriage, premature birth, or death of the baby. Since 1982, there have been 142 suicides involving Accutane.

The FDA has required that doctors and patients sign a lengthy consent form prior to beginning Accutane therapy acknowledging they have been informed of the dangers with both psychological and pregnancy aspects. Other side effects of Accutane include brain problems, abdomen problems, bone and muscle problems, hearing problems, vision problems, lipids or fats and cholesterol in blood problems, and allergic reactions and lupus.

Pharmaceutical malpractice is very common and the foundation for these lawsuits is prescription medication. It is important to get a knowledgeable Accutane attorney to help you with your case.
