Maryland Accutane Attorneys
Have you or a loved one taken the acne drug Accutane? If so, you need to talk to the attorneys at Goldberg, Finnegan, & Mester. You are not alone and may need a Maryland Accutane attorney to help you decide what to do next. All medications have side effects. However, Accutane is prescribed for acne, a condition that is serious but not life threatening. Personal appearance is extremely important to young people. Hoffmann-LaRoche capitalized on this need, minimized the serious risks associated with their medication and made a fortune selling Accutane.

The side effects of Accutane have been linked to suicide, depression, severe birth defects, and damage to the liver, kidneys, and colon. A congressional investigation of this acne medication found that the suicide rate among users may be as high as two suicides per month, an unusually high number for any group, but especially high for otherwise healthy people who showed no signs of depression or thoughts of suicide before they started using it.
The side effects of Accutane also harm unborn babies. Birth defects associated with this medication are so severe that women who become pregnant while using the drug are routinely advised by their doctors to have an abortion. Women who take Accutane are required to use two forms of contraception to guard against pregnancy while they are on the drug. The prescriptions must be refilled each month. Before writing a new prescription, the prescribing doctor must perform a pregnancy test on female patients taking the drug. The harmful side effects on a human fetus continue for at least one month after the drug has been discontinued. Our experienced Maryland Accutane Attorneys can help you win the compensation you deserve.
