Accutane Attorney
Columbus, Ohio
Accutane, a drug manufactured by Roche Laboratories and approved by the FDA
in 1982, is used in the treatment of resistant nodular cystic, the most severe
form of acne. The drug has been very effective in attacking acne in patients
who have not responded well to more conventional treatments such as topical
agents or antibiotics. However, doctors must carefully monitor patients taking
Accutane because of certain adverse reactions. Frequent blood tests are required
to ensure that the drug is not damaging the liver. Additionally, women who are
pregnant or may become pregnant must not take or handle Accutane as severe birth
defects may result. Accutane's potential psychological effects received attention
after allegations from U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) that his son's suicide
was due in part to Accutane-induced depression. Roche has added additional warnings
to the drug's packaging regarding the possibility of Accutane-induced depression.
