Dilantin - Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) & Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS) Lawsuits
Dilantin (phenytopin) is a anti-seizure medicine. Phenytoin is an oral and injectable anti-seizure medication first synthesized in 1908. Phenytoin was originally approved by the FDA in 1939. Although it has been used in many conditions, phenytoin's only approved use is as an anti-seizure medication (anticonvulsant), especially to prevent tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures and complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures). It may be used alone or with phenobarbital or other anticonvulsants.
Phenytoin sodium has been marketed as Phenytek by Mylan Laboratories, previously Bertek Pharmaceuticals, and Dilantin; Australia also Dilantin Kapseals and Dilantin Infatabs in the USA, Eptoin by Abbott Group in India and as Epanutin in the UK and Israel, by Parke-Davis, now part of Pfizer.
What is Stevens Johnson Syndrome ?
Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) 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
