Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a rare inflammatory skin disorder that can be life-threatening.
Almost any medication, including over-the-counter drugs, may trigger Stevens-Johnson. Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) including medications such as Bextra, Vioxx, and Celebrex, are often associated with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can occur at any age. The majority of cases occur between ages 20 and 40; one-fifth of all cases occur in people under age 20. It is estimated that out of every million Americans, three to eight people are hospitalized each year due to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and related conditions.
WARNING: STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME is a fatal medical condition which is associated with the use of CHILDREN'S MOTRIN, BACTRIM and BEXTRA and may cause BLINDNESS, SKIN LOSS, and DEATH.
