Accutane settlement drug lawyers recently obtained a $25 million dollar jury verdict against Accutane for causing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to a New Jersey woman.  The American College of Gastroenterology addressed the causal link between Accutane and IBD in an article published in November 2009.  Roche, the manufacturer of Accutane, first faced claims of injury in 2000.  Now, Accutane litigation is centralized in two states, Florida and New Jersey.  Roche continues to deny the link between IBD and isotretinoin, the active ingredient found in its anti-acne medication Accutane. 

In five trials between May 2007 and February 2010, juries found for Accutane injury victims and awarded verdicts of $2.6 million, $7 million, $10.6 million, $13 million, and $25 million.  Our Accutane injury lawyers are alleging that the warnings issued by Roche were insufficient and that the company knew there was a direct link between IBD and Accutane use.  One juror was recently questioned following an Accutane trial and was quoted as saying "it was all about the wording on the label....It didn't give a clear-cut explanation as to what you can get by taking this drug...that's my issue, was it properly labeled?"

Persons taking Accutane must be very careful and monitor their health closely.  This is a very strong anti-acne medication.  If you experience any symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease, contact an Accutane litigation attorney immediately following a consultation with your physician.  Accutane injury lawyers are available 24 hours a day to discuss your case.  Contact an Accutane lawyer by calling (866) 840-3636 and get your questions answered immediately.
