Hepatitis - Hepatotoxicity - Liver Damage

Hepatitis, Hepatotoxicity, Liver Damage
The FDA has required Hoffmann-La Roche to change their label for Accutane many times. The most recent label states - Clinical hepatitis considered to be possibly or probably related to Accutane therapy has been reported. Additionally, mile to moderate elevations of liver enzymes have been observed in approximately 15% of individuals treated during clinical trials, some of which normalized with dosage reduction or continued administration of the drug. If normalization does not readily occur or if hepatitis is suspected during treatment with Accutane, the drug should be discontinued and the etiology further investigated.

Pursuant to FDA Rules and Regulation, the reporting of Adverse Side Effects is on a voluntary basis. In other words, the doctor, hospital, or other medical person or facility are not required by law to report an adverse side effect from a drug. The FDA reported that perhaps only one in one hundred side effects ever get reported. One could only imagine about how many serious Adverse Side Effects there are from taking Accutane, that have never been reported to anyone!
