Accutane Birth Defects Lawsuits
Researchers have associated
an extremely high risk of birth defects in babies born to women
who become pregnant while taking Accutane also called Isotretinoin.
This remains true even in cases where a woman takes a small amount
of Accutane for a short period of time. Birth defects associated
with Accutane include: hydrocephaly (enlargement of the fluid-filled
spaces in the brain), microcephaly (small head), mental retardation,
ear and eye abnormalities, cleft lip and palate and other facial
abnormalities and heart defects. A high risk of miscarriage also
accompanies the use of Accutane in pregnant women. Accutane can
cause these birth defects in the early weeks after conception
when a woman remains unaware that she is pregnant. Even babies
without obvious malformations upon birth may have mental retardation
or learning disabilities.
If you or a loved one has taken
Accutane while pregnant and had a child born with birth defects,
you should speak to a lawyer to protect your rights and pursue
compensation. This site is for victims of Accutane caused birth
