Accutane-Related Inflammatory Bowel Disease May Be Grounds for Lawsuit

Accutane has reportedly been linked to a risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in users, who as a result, may have grounds for legal action. An Accutane lawsuit could potentially provide compensation to Accutane IBD victims for physical discomfort, medical bills and other damages resulting from their condition.  Visit http://www.classaction.org/accutane.html to learn more about Accutane inflammatory bowel disease and to receive a free case review which can help determine if you are eligible for an Accutane lawsuit.

Accutane Crohn’s disease is one of the complications that users of the drug have reported. Accutane Crohn’s disease symptoms include constipation; abdominal pain; persistent, watery diarrhea; loss of appetite; and rectal bleeding. Generally occurring in the intestines, Accutane Crohn’s disease can, however, occur anywhere along the digestive tract from the mouth to rectum. 

A reported Accutane side effect, ulcerative colitis (UC) is an incurable form of Accutane IBD, manifesting as inflammation of the digestive tract, mainly in the colon and rectum. Symptoms typically include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and pain, weight loss, and night sweats. The most severe form of Accutane ulcerative colitis, known as fulminant colitis, may cause severe pain, dehydration from profuse diarrhea, and shock. Additionally, this form of the disease may cause life-threatening conditions such as toxic megacolon and colon rupture. 

Users of Accutane that have suffered from IBD may be able to recover compensation by filing an Accutane inflammatory bowel disease lawsuit.
