Claravis

In 2002 the patent protection held by Hoffman-LaRoche for Accutane expired and several other manufacturers entered the acne treatment market selling generic versions of Accutane.  One of these generic alternatives is called Claravis, which is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA

Experts believe the risk of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis is just as strong with Claravis as with original Accutane.

Roche discontinued production and sales of Accutane on June 29, 2009 citing, among other things, poor market share.  They estimated that by the time it was taken off the market, Accutane only represented 5% of the market due to the increased popularity of the cheaper generic versions.
