Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Accutane Lawyers

Traumatic Brain Injury

Accutane is a prescription medication used for the treatment of the most severe forms of acne. Accutane is manufactured by Hoffmann-LaRoche and is the brand name for isotretinoin, which is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin A.

Although Accutane is indeed effective at treating acne, the side effects can be severe and even life threatening. In fact, Accutane is on the FDA's list of the top three drugs with the most reported negative side effects. Accutane side effects include:

Suicide
Birth Defects
Irritable bowel syndrome
Inflammatory bowel syndrome
Depression
Colon, Liver and Kidney Damage
Bone & Joint Pain and/or Muscle Stiffness
Eye Disorders

Colitis
Severe abdominal pain or back pain
Lupus
Increased risk of bone fracture
Severe drug interactions with other drugs including swelling of the brain, which can cause traumatic brain injury.
Serious consequences when used by people with heart or blood vessel problems, elevated blood sugar or triglyceride levels, alcoholism, diabetes or weight problems.

Hoffmann-LaRoche, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures Accutane, has been accused of putting profits before people , because it failed to properly warn about the dangers and continued to market Accutane despite its side effects, such as traumatic brain injury.
