Severe Skin Reactions

During the week of October 24, 2005, The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a label safety change for Coreg. The new label will include a warning for two common severe skin reactions: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (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 (SJS) 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 (SJS) do not have warnings placed on their labels until recently. Patients unknowingly took these drugs and many developed the potentially fatal Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS).Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a rare condition that causes large portions of the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer, to disengage from the layers of skin below. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) begins with fever, cough and other nonspecific symptoms, and is soon followed by purplish, bloody-looking lesions on the skin and mucous membranes.

These early lesions, typically found on the head, neck, and upper chest, soon merge and blister. Sheets of epidermis then begin to detach from the skin layers below. In time, the entire surface of the skin may be involved, with detachment of 100% of the epidermis.

Wow I have never had such a positive review of a law firm and I guess it’s because they never get it all right. This law firm did and they were the ultimate in professional acumen, business acumen and they made what I thought would be a hard process very easy. Tina Morace was the ultimate para legal who when I called and or had a question if was in a call,on vacation or busy made sure to make me a priority and return all my calls within half hr. Service like this makes me and will make me always recommend this law firm and to feel comfortable doing so. Tina’s service I hope will be recognized as she is the ultimate professional and made me feel comfortable for the whole two year process. Have an awesome day and once again they are awesome.
