Roche Pharmaceuticals, creator and seller of acne medication Accutane, recalled the defective drug from the market in America in 2009. But that doesn’t mean the world is safe from Accutane’s serious side effects, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) injuries such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Indeed, Accutane is still sold in many countries, including Canada. Also, Accutane remains available in America in generic form, as the acne drugs Sotret, Amnesteem and Claravis.
And beyond that, it’s known that some Accutane injuries may manifest themselves years after a person took the acne drug. Also, serious IBD injuries are lifelong and incurable. So if a person took Accutane before Roche yanked it from the market in 2009, that person still could be suffering years later.
Thus, the dangers of Accutane aren’t finished. It remains a defective drug which is harming many thousands of Americans. And those Americans need justice -- and financial compensation -- for their defective drug injuries.
If you are such an American, you can get help. You can get an experienced defective drug lawyer for an Accutane lawsuit from Accutane-Lawsuit-Lawyer.com. The national attorney service can provide you with an Accutane lawyer or defective drug attorney for your state.
Don’t let Roche Pharmaceuticals think that just because it pulled Accutane from the market it’s no longer responsible for Accutane injuries. Such IBD bowel disease injuries will persist for years due to Accutane’s harmful side effects. And those injuries should spur defective drug lawsuits in victims’ behalf.
In fact, they already are doing so. An estimated 5,000 defective drug lawsuits have been filed versus Roch for its negligence in creating, manufacturing and selling its defective acne treatment. And such Accutane lawsuits have produced jury verdicts totaling more than $56 million for just a few plaintiffs so far.

If someone in your family has endured an Accutane injury such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, colon removal or another inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), your family could be due significant financial compensation for your Accutane losses, including medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
Such financial recovery can come regardless of Roche’s Accutane recall. For Roche, as with some of Accutane’s victims, it’s too late to change things. Accutane damage has been now. Now justice must be served.
