Parents Lobby Mps For Anti-acne Drug Roaccutane Ban

‘Self-esteem’ One of his constituents, Jonathan Medland from Barnstaple, has been fighting to have Roaccutane banned for 10 years. His son Jon, a 22-year-old medical student at Manchester University, hanged himself weeks after being prescribed the drug to treat spots on his back. His inquest did not find Roaccutane responsible, but Mr Medland said it played a part and he is determined to keep fighting. He said his son was an “exuberant” character who had never, to his knowledge, suffered from depression. Roche said 17 million people worldwide have been treated with the drug “I’m not going to shut up until the drug is taken off the market – however long it takes,” he said.
