In the U.S. alone, there have been an estimated 5 million Accutane patients; a high number of which suffered from Accutane side effects including psychiatric disorders, birth defects, possibly inflammatory bowel disease, and lupus.

The Accutane manufacturer knew about Accutane side effects causing birth defects even before receiving FDA approval in 1982.
