Accutane, intended indicated for the treatment of severe, recalcitrant, nodular acne, has been linked with several serious side effects, including serious birth defects and suicide. Accutane, or Isotretinoin, is a retinoid that is related to retinoic acid and retinol, or Vitamin A. Isotretinoin inhibits sebaceous gland function and keratinization. Accutane treatment for 15 to 20 weeks results in complete and prolonged remission of acne is most patients. Sometimes, a second course of treatment is needed.

In addition to birth defects and suicide, Parker Waichman Alonso Mark LLP is investigating Accutane cases involving inflammatory bowel disease, crohn’s disease, colitis, loss of vision, loss of hearing and growth disc problems. If you or a loved one has been injured by Accuntane please complete the case inquiry form on the right side of this page for a free evaluation.

Thinking about it:

Hi there,

I have tried EVERY holistic method (and I really have) and have had no luck in getting rid of my acne and more recent excema. I live off fruit and vegetables and drink lots of distilled water. I use 100% natural skin care. I am 27 and tired of looking like I live at KFC, especially since I am healthier thatn the vast majority of people on the planet. I am now considering Roaccutane. I am aware of the side effects but really can they be as bad as looking like a pizza? My skin problems have affected my self-esteem, job prospects and relationships. I want to be able to wear make-up and be kissable again. I want to enjoy my youth as it is fast going. I have spent THOUSANDS on natural therapies over the years. With the addition of the excema (on either side of my chin, below my mouth and nose) I have become a recluse - it's too humiliating. I appreciate all correspondance and advice.
