Adverse Drug Reactions GA

by admin on November 21, 2009

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is caused by adverse drug reactions. It is a potentially deadly skin disease and can be life threatening. The drugs that can cause Stevens Johnson Syndrome are NSAIDS (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs), Allopurinol, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, barbiturates, anticonvulsants, and sulfa antibiotics. Stevens Johnsons syndrome causes massive pain, suffering and anxiety. The symptoms may not appear for one or two weeks after first taking the drug. Stevens Johnsons Syndrome can also be preceded by a viral infection, such as herpes or the mumps, and its accompanying fever, sore throat, and sluggishness. Patients unknowingly took these drugs and many have developed the dangerous and potentially deadly Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Typical symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome are:

• Cough productive of a thick purulent sputum
• Headache
• Malaise
• Arthralgia

Medical products, especially those sold by prescription have to pass a rigorous pre-market approval process by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Once it passes through the approval process, the public assumes that the medical product can be safely used for the purpose for which it is intended. Sometimes, medical products can be the cause of serious injuries. If you are or one of your loved ones is suffering from Stevens Johnson Syndrome, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Loss of wages and future loss of earning capacity
• Permanent disability
• Medical bills
