Celiac Disease Aggravates Accutane Lawsuits

Since 1980, accutane drug has been prescribed to over 16 million patients who have been suffering from acne. The drug was appears to be effective to combat acne problems, but unexpectedly, there are numbers of complaints from accutane users concerning the efficacy of accutane drug after a year of taking such. On that day, accutane lawsuits began but it was recently aggravated when celiac disease comes in. Celiac disease is a rare disorder that affects the way gluten is processes in the lower intestine. Some of its symptoms are most likely the same with IBS syndrome that was the former strong back up for accutane lawsuits like diarrhea. But celiac disease is a bit different now because it has symptoms like fatigue, weight loss and as well as general intestinal discomfort. The only way option that a celiac sufferer can do is to maintain a gluten-free diet hence it has no cure yet. A study conducted by Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Digestive Disease Research Core Center published a certain study in Nature, a well respected scientific journal, shows the connections between Accutane and celiac disease. Celiac sufferers prior to the said publications knew that it will only worsen their condition hence, looking back, IBS syndrome has also a connection to ulcerative colitis which can be linked to problems in the intestine as it was also published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology last April 2010.

Though FDA interrupted in prescribing such drug, especially to women, still Hoffman-La-Roche has to face the current issues today. The risk of taking accutane should not be adapted to the any accutane patients; the negligence of this manufacturing company must be given an immediate action. You might have suffered such symptoms or diseases, using Celiac disease might also aggravate Hoffman-La-Roche’s burden to defend their product.
