Stevens Johnson Syndrome Attorneys

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a rare and serious disease that has been linked to several medications sold through prescriptions and over the counter. Many of these dangerous drugs have been recalled or removed from the shelves because of this finding, but not before children and adult users contracted the disease. If you or a loved one has developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome as a result of an adverse drug reaction, you may be able to file a claim against the drug company or manufacturer that markets and sells the product.

For several years now, prescription drugs have been making headlines for causing life-altering, debilitating diseases and disorders. It seems a new drug is recalled nearly every week after it has been linked to heart disease, cancer or a variety of other serious problems.

Drug companies and manufacturers need to be held responsible for the products that they market and sell, especially in cases where the medication is easily accessible and sold over the counter. Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) has been linked to several popular medications, including amoxicillin, Children's Motrin, and Bextra, causing pain, suffering and death to those who have developed SJS.

SJS is believed to be caused by an allergic reaction to medications and drugs. This adverse drug reaction will usually take 1-4 weeks to develop into Stevens Johnson Syndrome. The disease is very serious and painful and has even killed some of the diagnosed. While the drugs listed above have been most commonly linked to SJS, it is important to realize that an allergic reaction to any drug can cause SJS.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a disease that affects the mucous membranes and the skin. In severe cases, the disorder causes layers of skin to slough off and eyes to become inflamed, leading to blindness. SJS can affect people of any age, race or gender.
