Bone and Muscle Damage from Accutane

Some of the most common side effects have been the development of inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, but another possible side effect is bone and muscle damage and even stunted growth.

Possible Bone and Muscle Damage
Because of so many reports of Accutane users experiencing bone and muscle damage, Hoffman/Roche now has to include a warning with Accutane that reads, “spontaneous reports of osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone fractures, and delayed healing bone fractures have been seen in the Accutane population.” Some potential bone and muscle problems that Accutane users may experience include:
- Decreased bone density
- Muscle weakness
- Stunted bone growth from growth plates closing prematurely
- Skeletal swelling
- Osteoporosis
- Bone fractures that either do not heal or are slow to heal
If you have experienced any of these side effects after taking Accutane, you may be eligible for compensation from the drug’s manufacturer.
