Millions of innocent Americans have taken acne medication Accutane and its generic brands -- Amnesteem, Claravis and Sotret -- out of trust. Sadly, that trust has not been earned. Such drugs' potent active ingredient, Isotretinoin, is causing gastro-intestinal harm to many Americans, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease, which sometimes involve colon removal surgery. Others have suffered IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome. For all of these injured Americans, an Accutane lawsuit is the answer.
Now persons across America can fight back. They can seek legal help from Greg Jones & Associates in pursuing an Accutane side effects lawsuit. Such an Accutane lawsuit pressed by a Greg Jones Accutane attorney or Accutane lawyer can seek fair financial compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. And victims can get a free case review simply by filling out the form on this Accutane website, or call toll-free to 1-800-339-0606.
Accutane lawsuits are winning in America's courts. Recent judgments have provided payments of millions of dollars for victims. In fact, more than $56 million has been awarded to victims in product liability lawsuits. These victorious verdicts for victims have occurred in lawsuits demonstrating that they were not warned adequately of Accutane's harmful side effects by its developer and manufacturer, Hoffmann-La Roche.
The Swiss-based pharmaceutical company -- with U.S. headquarters in New Jersey -- introduced Accutane in 1982 as a powerful acne medication. Accutane's use was approved at that time by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But the same FDA later applied a black box warning to Accutane when its harmful Accutane side effects became evident.
Besides digestive disorders, such Accutane side effects have included depression, suicidal impulses, seizures and strokes. Women who took Accutane during pregnancy also have had newborns suffering from birth defects as a result. Recently, Accutane also has been found to have a link to severe skin reaction Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
More commonly, Accutane causes thousands of Americans to suffer IBS, IBD, Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease. UC disease often causes sores, inflammation or ulcers forming in the linings of the rectum and colon, which adversely affect the intestines and colon. Such ulcers or sores may produce rectal bleeding, anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, joint pain, weight loss, fatigue and various other ailments.
As for Crohn’s Disease, it's also an IBD, or inflammatory bowel disease. But Crohn's Disease more deeply impacts the body's digestive system, harming not just the large intestines and colon, but also the small intestines, stomach, mouth and esophagus.
After such severe Accutane side effects became clear, Hoffmann-La Roche withdrew Accutane from the market in 2009, but not before it had made up to $1.2 billion per year in profits on its defective drug. In fact, more than 16 million people worldwide have used Accutane. Now victims are fighting back with Accutane lawsuits, which also can target manufacturers that still produce and sell generic Accutane products called Amnesteem, Claravis and Sotret.
