Accutane (isotretinoin), a Vitamin A synthetic drug, was prescribed beginning in 1982 for severe acne problems. The FDA approved the drug, which seemed to offer good results in treating problem acne, and sales were high for some time. In spite of FDA approval, however, a warning was issued after it became apparent that some serious side effects might be experienced while using the drug, including liver malfunction, skin problems, heightened blood fat levels, and severe birth defects and miscarriages. In 2009, the drug was pulled from the market, although various internet sources still claim to sell Accutane. Some people have experienced side effects from taking Accutane and wish to explore the possibility of a claim for damages.
