About Roaccutane

How Does Roaccutane Work?
Roaccutane is one of many generic names for the synthetic chemical compound Isotretinoin. It is a retinoid, meaning that its chemical structure is similar to that of Vitamin A. Like Vitamin A, it has been proven to be effective at reducing acne. Because it mimics some properties of Vitamin A, however, Roaccutane can also induce some unintended side effects.
Potential Side Effects
Some people who have taken Roaccutane have experienced severe side effects, particularly the onset of serious inflammatory diseases. For some, the side effects last only for a short while, but for others, these unintended effects have been long-lasting. Some of the possible side effects associated with Roaccutane include:
- Crohn’s Disease
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Birth Defects
- Depression
If you have experienced any of these serious ailments after taking Roaccutane, you may be a victim of its severe side effects. Many patients have already filed lawsuits against Hoffmann-La Roche for the negative effects that they have suffered, and you may have legal grounds to do the same. Our attorneys are committed to representing your case to ensure that you receive the financial compensation you deserve.
