What is Accutane?
Accutane (also known as Roaccutane or isotretinoin ) is an oral drug developed by the Roche Company for treatment of the most severe form of acne. Where other medications often fall short, Accutane is powerful enough to treat acne that can leave the patient permanently disfigured. However, because Accutane can also have dramatic side effects, certain strict precautions have been laid out for its use.

Other names for Accutane are: Roaccutane, Isotretinoin, Amnesteem, Claravis and Soltret.
Accutane:
Accutane Side Effects Treatment
In October 2001, Congressman Bart Stupak expressed his concerns about Accutane following the suicide of his son who happened to be taking Accutane. The manufacturer of Accutane (Roche) has warned physicians that Accutane can possibly cause "depression, psychotic symptoms, and rarely suicide attempts", but still Roche maintains they believe the drug is safe. Since 1982, there have been over 142 suicides involving Accutane.

Other Legal Considerations

Merck drug company recently pulled its best selling drug Vioxx (Rofecoxib) off of the market. It is beleived that since Vioxx first won FDA approval and began selling in the US it has claimed an estimated 27,785 lives due to either heart attack or stroke. Vioxx is a class of drug called COX-2 Inhibiters. Phizer also makes two drugs that are of the same class, Bextra (Valdecoxib) and Celebrex (Celecoxib). Experts beleive the serious and often fatal side effects are not limited to Vioxx. They beleive it is a "class effect" which means the same often fatal side effects of Vioxx can be found in Phizer's Bextra and Celebrex.

If you or a loved one has taken Vioxx, Bextra or Celebrex and have experienced side effects such as: blood clots, heart attack or stroke, contact the Vioxx Attorney's of Ennis & Ennis about a Vioxx lawsuit. for your free, confidential case evaluation. Nationwide call: 1-800-856-6405.
