Accutane inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Side Effect

Inflammatory bowel disease is among the side effects of Accutane

Our firm is able to assist people who developed the following after use of Accutane: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease. "Inflammatory Bowel Disease" (IBD) is a term that refers to both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation of the lining of the large intestine. Crohn’s disease causes inflammation of the lining and wall of the large and/or small intestine. When inflamed, the lining of the intestinal wall is red and swollen, becomes ulcerated, and bleeds. This in turn can cause cramps, pain in the abdomen and severe bloody diarrhea.

Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease usually run highs and lows in the intensity and severity of illness. When the degree of inflammation is minor, the patient usually is without symptoms, and the disease is considered to be in remission. When there is severe inflammation, the disease is considered to be in an active stage, and the person experiences a flare-up of the condition. While patients of IBD do have an increased risk of colorectal cancer, it is usually diagnosed earlier because IBD patients under colonoscopies with more frequency.
