On June 26, 2009 Accutane (Isotretinoin) was recalled in part due to a possible link to serious Accutane side effects and reports of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It has long been known of the connection of Accutane and birth defects and possible suicides, but new evidence has come to light that the makers of Accutane, Roche Holding AG, has known about the possible link of Accutane and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) since 1984 and has failed to warn its users of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and other serious side effects.
Accutane and generic brands Amnesteem, Claravis and Soltret are also suspected in causing IBD, Crohn's Diease & Ulcerative Colitis (UC) as well. Further according to many experts, Accutane users or any patient with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are also at an increased risk of colon cancer in the future.
Accutane Recall - FDA
Roche notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it was withdrawing Accutane after a "reevaluation" of its product lines showed it faced serious challenges from generic competitors, company officials said in a statement. "In addition, Roche has been faced with high costs from personal-injury lawsuits that the company continues to defend vigorously," according to the statement.
About 13 million people have taken Accutane since it went on the market in 1982. The medication was Roche's second-biggest selling drug before the patent expired in 2002 and rivals started selling generic versions. Roche's prescription market share of the drug is now below 5 percent, the company said. The drug also has been pulled off the market in 11 other countries including France, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Norway and Spain, Rosenstock said. She couldn't provide dates for those withdrawals. Roche spokesperson said that Accutane's safety wasn't a factor in the decision to take the product out of the U.S. market. "Roche stands behind the safety of Accutane and the rigorous risk-management program Roche developed over decades of cooperation with the FDA," she said in the statement.
Accutane Inflammatatory Bowel Diseases
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine. The major types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The main difference between Crohn's disease and UC is the location and nature of the inflammatory changes. Crohn's can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from mouth to anus (skip lesions), although a majority of the cases start in the terminal ileum. Crohn's disease usually causes ulcers (open sores) along the length of the small and large intestines. See: Accutane and Inflammatory Bowel Disease IBD
