Drug Warning: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Side Effects and Risks

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a potentially fatal condition of the skin and mucus membranes, usually caused by a drug reaction. Both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs sometimes produce this reaction.
This condition garnered media attention in 2005 when some small children died or were seriously injured after taking OTC forms of ibuprofen. At that time, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) refused to require warnings on the label of these drugs because Stevens-Johnson’s Syndrome was so rare.
Family members of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome victims and some medical experts petitioned the FDA to require changes to OTC labels in early 2005. In late 2005 and early 2006, the FDA began approving updated labels containing a Stevens-Johnson Syndrome warning for the following OTC products
