Dilantin - SJS Stevens Johnson Syndrome Lawsuit 
SJS dilantin lawsuit

Dilantin and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)

Dilantin is an antiepileptic drug, prescribed to control grand mal seizures (a type of seizure in which the individual experiences a sudden loss of consciousness immediately followed by generalized convulsions) and temporal lobe seizures (a type of seizure caused by disease in the cortex of the temporal [side] lobe of the brain affecting smell, taste, sight, hearing, memory, and movement).

Dilantin may also be used to prevent and treat seizures occurring during and after neurosurgery (surgery of the brain and spinal cord). Dilantin Generic Name: phenytoin (oral) and other Dilantin generic & Dilantin brand names include Dilantin Infatabs, Dilantin Kapseals, Dilantin-125, Phenytek, Phenytoin Sodium and Prompt. Dilantin like many other drugs is known to cause SJS Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

Dilantin and SJS

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a rare and serious disease that affects the mucous membranes and the skin, eventually resulting in the epidermis (the outer layers of skin) separating from the dermis (inner layers of skin). SJS is closely related to TENS (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis), which affects the skin in the same way but can lead to the separation of one hundred percent of the epidermis. SJS is said to be a milder form of TENS, affecting up to thirty percent or more of the epidermis. SJS has been linked to many prescription medications and a multitude of common over-the-counter treatments as well. Stevens Johnson Syndrome is similar to Lyell's Syndrome

Some forms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome are more severe than others. Erythema multiforme minor is the milder form of SJS and not as serious. However, full blown Stevens-Johnson syndrome also called Erythema multiforme majoris is much more severe and is usually caused by reactions to medications, rather than infections.  Stevens-Johnson syndrome occurs primarily in children and young adults. Many of these dangerous drugs have been recalled or removed from the shelves because of this discovery, but not before many children and adult users contracted the horrible disease.

SJS Signs & Symptoms

Stevens Johnson Syndrome SJS and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis TEN can affect both men and women as well as children. SJS Treatment and TENS treatment usually requires hospitalization, can take up to several months depending on the severity of the reaction. SJS Signs and symptoms of SJS and TEN may include the following:

  • Painful reddish skin rashes
  • Red blisters around eyes,
  • Corneal blisters
  • Blisters in the mouth, eyes, ears, nose, throat
  • Skin blisters

  • Swelling of the eyelids
  • Skin rash and blisters in ones' genital areas
  • Flu-like symptoms
