Accutane and liver disease / IBD

General
1

Hi,

As a teenager I had terrible acne. I went to a dermatologist. She tried me on many different medications. Eventually she put me on Accutane. It worked very well.

2/3 years later I was diagnosed with IBD (UC) and PSC.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there's a link between Accutane and liver issues/IBD.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Seems there are some links to suggest a link or caussation, but probably not a smoking gun.
