South Dakota Accutane Lawyer

Doctors use Accutane to treat patients with the worst cases of acne. Accutane is a very powerful drug, and as such patients must have already tried other acne treatments without success before starting to use Accutane. This prescription drug makes the oil glands in the body not make so much oil, eliminating acne. Accutane is an astoundingly effective medicine that clears up the most terrible, stubborn cases of acne within three to six months of beginning the medication. What’s more, when the acne heals, the patient quits taking Accutane and the acne never comes back.

Side Effects of Accutane

This powerful medication is not without its problems though. Patients taking it must routinely submit to blood tests to check for liver problems and other possible issues while they are on Accutane, and women must sign a pledge that they will use reliable contraception so as not to become pregnant while on the medication. The side effects of Accutane include lumbago, joint tenderness, despondency, suicidal feelings, miscarriage and stillbirth, serious birth defects, hair loss, thinning skin, dried out soft tissues; increased hostility, stroke, heart attack, conjunctivitis, asteosis, allergic vasculitis; spastic colon, impotency, osteoporosis, anaphylaxis, tremors, diminished white blood cell counts, irrational fears, buzzing in the ears, and liver damage. In some cases patients were not informed of all of the possible side effects before they started the medication and suffered an injury from Accutane.
