In fact, a seven year old girl
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010In fact, a seven year old girl who took Children?s Motrin suffered an SJS-related allergic reaction so severe that it spread throughout her body and finally invaded her eyes, causing irreversible blindness. At the time of the incident, there was no warning on the packaging of Children?s Motrin to warn parents of the potential danger to their children.
Part of the tragedy of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is that statistics and figures on this potentially deadly disease are extremely difficult to determine because most cases go unreported. The Food and Drug Administration does not require that manufacturers or doctors report such drug reactions, so the consuming public and even some doctors are unaware of the risks these drugs pose. Furthermore, the COX-2 drugs Bextra and Celebrex are know to contain sulfonamides, which can result in SJS or TENS in people sensitive to the chemical. In fact, the FDA cited SJS as one of the main reasons it removed Bextra from the market.
