~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Accutane, known generically
as isotretinoin, is a prescription medication used to
treat severe nodular and cystic acne that has not
responded to other treatments such as topical creams or
antibiotics. Nodular or cystic acne is a disfiguring
form of acne that causes multiple inflamed cysts and
scarring.
Accutane was developed and marketed by
Roche Pharmaceuticals, a division of Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., and
approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1982. It works on the
oil glands within the skin, shrinking them and diminishing their
output. Accutane is taken by mouth everyday for four to five months
and then treatment is stopped. The anti-acne effect produced by
Accutane can last a year or more after finishing a course of
medication.
Despite its lasting positive effect on
acne, Accutane has a number of mild to serious and possibly
life-threatening side effects:
-
Chapped Lips
-
Itchy, Dry Skin
-
Nasal Gland Dryness
-
Mild to severe Nosebleeds
-
Joint & Muscle Pain
-
Temporary Hair Thinning
-
Rash
-
Intestinal and Urinary Complications
-
Headache
-
Increase Sensitivity to Sun
-
Decreased Night Vision
-
Mild Depression
-
Severe Depression, with thoughts of
Suicide
-
Birth Defects
The most damaging side effect of Accutane is serious
birth defects (fetal malformations) if taken during pregnancy. It is
critically important for women not to take Accutane while pregnant,
and not to become pregnant while under treatment. A woman who does get
pregnant while taking Accutane may be forced to have an abortion and
may also be required to state this in writing before many physicians
will prescribe Accutane. It is not currently known whether Accutane
taken by men can cause birth defects.
Birth defects associated with Accutane include:
-
Hydrocephaly - enlargement of the fluid-filled
spaces in the brain
-
Microcephaly – abnormally small head
-
Mental Retardation
-
Ear and Eye Abnormalities
-
Cleft Lip and Palate
-
Facial Abnormalities
-
Heart Defects
Accutane can cause these birth defects in the early
weeks after conception when a woman often is unaware of her pregnancy.
Even babies without obvious birth defects may have mental retardation
and learning disabilities. Accutane also increases the risk of
miscarriage, premature delivery and infant deaths.
If you took Accutane during pregnancy and gave birth
to a child with birth defects, or are currently taking Accutane and
are pregnant, contact a medical malpractice attorney today. An
experienced attorney who specializes in Accutane cases can help
recover damages.
Additional severe and life-threatening side effects
can occur with Accutane usage among any patient. They include:
-
Neurological: pseudotumor cerebri, dizziness,
drowsiness, headache, insomnia, lethargy, malaise, nervousness,
paresthesias, seizures, stroke, weakness
-
Psychiatric: suicidal ideation, suicide attempts,
suicide, depression, psychosis, emotional instability
Of the patients reporting depression, many report that
the depression subsides with the discontinuation of therapy. However,
symptoms can reoccur with reinstitution of therapy.
If you or a loved one suffers from any of the many
dangerous side effects of Accutane usage, contact an experienced
medical malpractice attorney today. An experienced attorney can
recover damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and
other effects of Accutane treatment.
