Lifeless 0 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) The drug was pulled from the market due to claims of digestive tract issues! I'm very worried now that taking it that many times, that I will develop some type of digestive issues. It's been about three years since I took my last dose of accutane, so would it have showed up by now if I am going to develop issues? Also, while taking accutane, and occasionally to this very day, I had/have pretty bad abdominal pain. Is this a sign that I may develop problems? I'm so worried Edited August 28, 2010 by Lifeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimpstick 1 Share Posted August 28, 2010 It was pulled from the market because the patent ran out and enough generics were developed to make the name brand not profitable anymore.Some people have developed IBS; class action lawyers are trying to make it into a huge deal so they can profit. If you don't have IBS, stop being a hypochondriac and live your life, if you can lifeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobden 0 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Why don't you get some test done and see if you have ibs/ibd? it's that simple. Also roche brand accutane is still being sold in canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeless 0 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Then those lawyer commercials are misleading. I guess not necessarily lying, but worded sketchy to make people think it was pulled due to digestive problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr President 5 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Then those lawyer commercials are misleading. I guess not necessarily lying, but worded sketchy to make people think it was pulled due to digestive problems. lol i have developed some minor digestive issues on accutane but you dont hear me complaining. sometimes i think you people will complain about anything and everything. god if its such an issue, get off the drug and continue living with ur acne...JUST PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING !

jacobden 0 Share Posted August 28, 2010 People love to sue for anything and everything, and blame all their problems on anything, "I have gastro problems because it must be from the accutane I took 15 year ago, not the 2 cheese burgers I eat a day" It has a long list of side effects for a reason, because it 'can' happen. But the bad ones are rare anyways, out of the growing 20 some odd million thats taken in it's still a tiny percent that get anything bad, but it still can happen. Yeah I feel bad for the people that got side effects 10+ years ago when it didnt state any side effects, but since then it's well known. If you don't want to risk it dont take it.

oli girl 178 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Acutally thoose lawsuits are for thoose who had thier intestines taken out due to developing IBD/Chron's not IBS and Roche themselves have settled other problems out of court. I don't blame Roche for taking it off the market between Generics and paying over 30 million in lawsuits for hiding that they knew it could cause IBD and such....In the last case they admitted guilt for the first time. Though I hope they have to pay out every dollar they made on Accutane....to the OP I am sure your fine, though I have heard of people having stomach pain after accutane and having numerous of tests to find nothing wrong.
