Massachusetts Accutane Lawyer

Accutane is often prescribed to chronic sufferers of acne with severe symptoms of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. In the past, physicians have used Accutane to treat cancer patients. Now, the drug is used primarily for acne and has earned manufacturer Hoffman-LaRoche $1.2 billion in sales annually.

Vitamin A is a primary component of Accutane. Studies have shown that it can clear acne problems within several months. The drug is effective because it can cease the rapid growth of skin cells and inhibit the production of oils in the oil glands. Physicians became confident in the abilities of Accutane and prescribed patients with less severe acne problems, Accutane. Patients began to complain when the side effects of the drug were more than they anticipated.
