Crohn’s Disease and Accutane
Accutane, the extremely popular drug for acne was finally taken off the market in June of 2009 after years of speculations concerning its relation to a number of serious medical disorders. One disease that has been found to have been caused by Accutane use is Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s disease is a very serious condition that causes inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract. It can lead to severe and chronic abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and, in serious cases, malnutrition. If you or someone you love has suffered from the onset of Crohn’s disease after taking the acne drug Accutane, you may be eligible for financial compensation.

Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease
The only way you can really know if you have developed Crohn’s disease after taking the acne drug Accutane is by going to a doctor. But if you have any of the following symptoms, you should immediately see your physician and mention your previous Accutane use.
Symptoms of Crohn’s disease include:
- Frequent and severe diarrhea
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Blood in the stool
- Ulcers
- Reduced appetite and weight loss
It is important to start treating Crohn’s disease at the onset of symptoms as serious malnutrition can develop over time if the disease is left untreated.
