Accutane Side Effects May Quadruple Risk of Ulcerative Colitis
April 9th, 2010
Researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have found that using Accutane increased the risk of developing ulcerative colitis by four. They published their findings in the March 30, 2010 issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology. Researchers looked at data from 87 health insurance plans and discovered roughly 8,200 patients diagnosed with IBD, or inflammatory bowel disease. IBD represents a group of disorders of the digestive track, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The study also revealed that the risk of developing a bowel disorder increased in relation to the dosage size of Accutane.
