Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a potentially deadly skin disease that results from a drug reaction. It causes massive pain, suffering and anxiety. BEXTRA is known as one of the medicines that causes SJS. This illness can affect any age group, but mostly older people (because they tend to use more of the drugs associated with the disease). Its initial symptoms are: coughing, aching, headaches, and feverishness. This may be followed by a red hash across the face and the trunk of the body.
BEXTRA, prescribed for osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps and adult pain management is immediately related to the Stevens - Johnson syndrome. It contains cox-2 inhibitors, which have anti-inflammatory and non-steroidal effects and among its side effects, produces Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Besides the effects on the skin, SJS produces injuries on internal organs such as lungs, heart and kidneys and also causes eye damage and vision loss.
If you or a dear one has been affected by the use of BEXTRA you are eligible to claim compensation for pain, suffering and any medical expenses incurred through the contraction of the disease. BEXTRA lawyers are highly trained and experienced in this field and can quickly ascertain whether you have grounds to file a claim. They even offer a free initial consultation so that you can discuss your claim and have a guide on how to proceed if you have a valid claim.
Remember that you are in your total right of fighting for what you think is fair and you can take part in class action. In this case patients from certain illnesses believed that any medication that they had to take was going to diminish the pain, not to increase it or provoke worse illnesses.
