Accutane’s Side Effects Include Crohn’s Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Weitz & Luxenberg is actively pursing cases involving Accutane patients who developed serious side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders, after using the acne drug.
If you or a family member used Accutane and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Crohn’s Disease, you can obtain vital information from our Accutane lawyers about your legal options.
Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved Accutane for the treatment of severe acne problems, thousands of men and women have undergone courses of the drug to clear up their skin.
Tragically, many of these current and former Accutane patients have developed serious gastrointestinal side effects that have permanently impacted their lives, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Approximately 600,000 Americans are affected by IBD, a condition that causes inflammation and ulcers in the small intestines and colon. Two conditions that fall under the IBD category have also affected many Accutane patients include Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s Disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that causes painful, and in some cases life-threatening, side effects and complications. Patients who develop Crohn’s Disease suffer from abdominal pain and cramping, bloody stools, ulcers and diarrhea.
Ulcerative Colitis
This chronic gastrointestinal disorder causes inflammation of the digestive track, causing patients to experience abdominal pain, bloating, blood in the stools, unexplained fever, frequent bowel movements and/or diarrhea.
