Advil

Advil, aka Ibuprofen, is used to relieve minor aches and pains due to: headache, toothache, backache, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and the common cold. Recently Advil lawyers have started investigating the possibility of an Advil class action lawsuit. Other Advil lawyers are accepting Advil lawsuits on an individual case by case basis. Advil attorneys started taking Advil lawsuits when information new information about Advil side effects was released that stated Advil side effects may include Stevens Johnson Syndrome or SJS and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis or TEN.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are two forms of the skin disease that can cause rash, skin peeling, and sores on the mucous membranes. Stevens Johnson Syndrome is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity disorder that may be caused by many drugs, viral infections, and malignancies.

Often, the drugs causing the onset of Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, such as Children’s Advil, did not have warnings placed on their labels until recently. Patients unknowingly took these drugs and many developed the potentially fatal Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

Children’s Advil is a commonly used painkiller that is designed for children aged two to eleven years, and is available over the counter (OTC). Children’s Advil was introduces in the late 1980s. These skin diseases are often fatal.

If you or a loved one have been injured by Advil side effects such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis you should contact an Advil Lawyer and inquire about an Advil lawsuit. Below are two good Advil lawyers I ran across while doing my research on Advil side effects:
