A New Zealand father is appealing a denial of compensation for his son’s severe OCD linked to Isotretinoin, seeking a legal precedent.
A New Zealand father, John, is pursuing legal action against the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for compensation after his son, Harry, developed severe OCD following Isotretinoin use in 2016.
Harry, once a high-achieving student and pianist, now suffers from extreme rituals like five-hour showers and constant handwashing, making physical contact impossible.
Though Medsafe acknowledges over 100 global reports linking the drug to OCD, it does not confirm causation.
ACC rejected the claim in 2017, citing symptom onset six weeks after stopping the medication, but in 2025, the High Court granted John leave to appeal, potentially setting a world-first legal precedent.
