Campaigner renews bid to get acne drug banned

Health Minister Leo Varadkar has been called on to intervene with the Irish and EU regulatory authorities with a view to getting a controversial acne drug withdrawn from the market.

Campaigner Jason O’Sullivan has repeated claims his health and his life were ruined by the side effects of RoAccutane.

His case has already been rejected by the Oireachtas Public Petitions’ Committee and the EU Petitions’ Committee.
