Accutane was recently pulled from the market by its manufacturer. Although Roche cited competition from generic makers and the economic downturn, the decision to remove the drug from the market came after the company paid millions of dollars in jury verdicts for its dangerous drug. Accutane has been found to cause inflammatory bowel disease, as well as, severe birth defects, psychosis, depression, suicidal thoughts, and other dangerous health risks.

Accutane is a form of vitamin A used to treat nodular acne by reducing the oil released by oil glands. According to reports, approximately 13 million people have been prescribed Accutane since its release in the early 1980s.
