Accutane and brain pressure

Accutane can increase the fluid in the fluid-filled spaces in the brain, increasing fluid pressure. Increased pressure can affect your vision and lead to permanent loss of sight. Other symptoms of increased brain pressure include:

  • Severe and persistent headache
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting

Patients experiencing these symptoms should speak with their doctor right away.

Accutane and other side effects

Patients taking Accutane should also be aware of other serious side effects, including the following:

  • Dry skin
  • Chapped lips
  • Dry eyes and irritation of the eyelids
  • Dry nose leading to nosebleeds
  • Stomach irritation and bleeding
  • Decreased night vision
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Persistent headaches

Accutane has also been linked to liver disease and problems with the stomach and pancreas.

How do I know if I need a North Carolina Personal Injury Lawyer?

A skilled personal injury lawyer's experience dealing with many different types of accidents and insurance companies on a regular basis enables him to know what pitfalls may arise in your case and how best to defend you against them. Securing the representation of an attorney can speed up the claims process, and studies have shown that, on average, most people who settle their personal injury claim with the help of an attorney receive larger settlements, and are better compensated for their injuries, even after fees for services have been deducted from the settlement amount. Our Firm has experience getting responses out of insurance companies.

Each case is different, and should be evaluated on its own merits. There is no obligation involved in calling us. Our goal is to help you obtain prompt medical attention and the maximum compensation to which you may be entitled. We will not charge an attorney's fee unless we successfully settle or win your case. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your individual situation.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you are seeking a personal injury lawyer you have come to the right place. We know that accidents and injuries are an inevitable part of life, but the fact that accidental mishaps are common does not resolve the pain and suffering accidents can cause. This is especially true if that injury could have been avoided. For example, some drugs are not completely tested for safety or removed from the market despite concerns about them. Some products are found to be dangerous.

If you or a loved one have suffered in an accident, from taking a dangerous drug, using a recalled product or from any other cause, you may be thinking about how to protect your legal rights by consulting with a personal injury attorney. Learning about personal injury litigation, and cases we are currently investigating, may help you determine whether you need the counsel of an experienced personal injury lawyer from a firm such as the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin.
