As a Fort Worth Texas Dilantin Stevens Johnson Syndrome SJS attorney, we are providing this update.

Dilantin (Generic: Phenytoin) is an antiepileptic drug prescribed to manage seizures. A major side effect of Dilantin is a severe skin reaction called Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS).

Stevens Johnson Syndrome involves the skin and the mucous membranes and is a serious systemic disorder with the potential for severe illness and even death.

With Stevens Johnson Syndrome, a patient develops blistering of mucous membranes, usually in the mouth, eyes, and genitals. Nearly all cases are caused by a drug reaction, most commonly sulfa antibiotics, barbiturates, anti-seizure medication such as Dilantin and certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The disorder occurs in all age groups but is more common in older people and people of African American descent.

Information and commentary is provided by Dallas and Fort Worth Dilantin Stevens Johnson Syndrome Attorney Shezad Malik. The Dr Shezad Malik Law Firm can be reached in Dallas at 214-390-3189.

As a Fort Worth Darvon Darvocet Product Recall Attorney we are providing this update. The FDA announced that it has requested manufacturers of propoxyphene, brand name Darvon, Darvocet and its generic equivalents, be withdrawn from the market due to serious and fatal heart risks.

This study showed that, even when taken at recommended doses, propoxyphene causes significant changes to the electrical activity of the heart visible on an electrocardiogram (EKG). These changes in electrical activity can increase the risk for abnormal heart rhythms linke

Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc, the maker of brand name Darvon and Darvocet, has agreed to withdraw the drug from the U.S. market and the FDA has notified manufacturers of generic propoxyphene products of Xanodyne’s decision, requesting they do the same.

As the company worked to fix the leakage, approximately 530,000 pounds of noxious pollutants were released into the Texas City air. This included 17,000 pounds of benzene, a known carcinogen.
