Due to generic competition and the exorbitant cost of defending personal injury lawsuits, Roche stopped selling the drug in June 2009.

More than two million people have taken Accutane,v despite the fact that it is known to cause depression, suicide , inflammatory bowel disease, and 100 percent guarantee of birth defects if taken by a pregnant woman.
