Dilantin
Anti Seizure Medication
Attention Dilantin users ( generic name Phenytoin). You deal daily
with controlling your seizure disorder and deserve the safest drug therapy
available.. You may not even know that Dilantin may induce an adverse drug
reaction that could result in difficulty breathing, closing the throat,
swelling of the lips, tongue or face. Other side effects include confusion,
discolored urine, painful urination, slurred speech, agitation, anemia,
frequent bone fractures or breaks, depression, numbness or tingling in the
extremities and a host of other side effects. Dilantin has even been linked
to Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)
serious illnesses that cause severe burn like blisters of the mucous
membranes, often affecting the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals. In some cases
it even results in death. Stevens Johnson Syndrome begins with flu like
symptoms which may last up to two weeks prior to rash and blistering. This
anti-epileptic, anticonvulsant drug has been around for decades but not
approved by the FDA in 2001 for manufactured by Pfizer.
How can something so simple like treating your child for a fever
turn into a tragedy like Stevens Johnson Syndrome? Unfortunately if this has
happened to you, you’re not the only one asking this question.
Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) And its more severe form called Toxic
Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are life threatening serious skin disorders which
can result in blindness, organ dysfunction and death. (1) These symptoms include rash,
redness and blisters. Absent warning of these symptoms mothers and fathers
all too often continue to give their children the drug making allowing for a
simple skin problem to progress to a life altering condition like SJS or
TEN. The law office of Brian Witzer specializes in getting
