A Stevens Johnson Syndrome lawyer fights rash of reactions

Roughly half of all Americans take over the counter drugs, and many can cause extreme allergic reactions such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome, a skin disorder that begins with a rash and can cause blistering and shedding of the skin and even blindness or death Indeed, in 10 to 30 per cent of SJS sufferers, the illness leads to blindness or death.

Victims often are small children, with many developing the ailment after taking Children's Motril or Children's Advil. But SJS can affect anyone of any age.

If you or a family member has suffered symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome -- such as broken blood vessels, erupting rashes or boils and itching eyes -- alert a physician immediately. Then consider engaging an experienced Stevens Johnson Syndrome lawyer or a defective drugs attorney in your state. USA-LegalHelpCenter.com can provide you with an able SJS lawyer or attorney in all 50 states.

SJS is still not a well known illness, but some links seem clear between the ailment and certain over the counter medications. That includes children's ibuprofen. The Stevens Johnson Syndrome Foundation has noted what it believes is an increase of the disease in children who'd used ibuprofen, but the Food and Drug Administration has resisted putting a warning on ibuprofen labels. Of course, many drugs which were approved by the FDA have proven to be harmful and defective, so this resistance does not constitute a definitive disassociation between ibuprofen and SJS.

Not only that, but it's estimated that as many as 2 million Americans fall ill and 140,000 Americans die each year due to SJS, or Stevens Johnson Sydrome (often misspelled as Steven Johnson Syndrome).

The suffering of SJS can be extreme. Victims often experience an extremely painful blistering of their skin and mucous membranes, until eventually the skin sloughs off as if it's been burned as in a full thickness burn known as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.
