Axelrod Mustache Puts Dilantin Side Effects On Notice

By John Curran

 

David AxelrodDavid Axelrod’s mustache may be one of the most famous in politics, and in shaving it on Friday, it may signal a significant decrease in the likelihood of Dilantin side effects for people who suffer from epileptic seizures.

He is well known around Washington, DC for his work in re-electing President Barack Obama. However, in this case, his politics are not important. He made a bet with the hosts of the TV show Morning Joe that if they raised $1 million for the Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE) in November, he would shave his mustache of 30 years. They did, and improved treatments that may result will lead to fewer Dilantin side effects as patients switch over.

It is a personal issue for Axelrod because his daughter suffers from the condition. However, 2.2 million Americans stand to benefit as well. Anticonvulsants, which also include Lamictal (chemical name: lamotrigine), are not always effective for many epilepsy patients. Moreover, Dilantin Stevens Johnson Syndrome side effects can cause significant damage. The autoimmune disorder can cause severe inflammation and require months of recovery in an induced coma.

There are other problems as well, including anemia and Dilantin suicide attempt side effects. Along with these, it can cause lupus. It is clear that there are a number of potential dangers from Dilantin side effects. In fact, the only thing that keeps more epilepsy patients from suffering from these conditions is the fact that millions don’t even go to specialists for treatment. Hopefully with the money raised by David Axelrod, there will be increased funds put towards other research opportunities, with a number of nascent treatments in the pipeline.

For those who do use medications for anti-epileptic drugs, consult with a doctor. Dilantin Stevens Johnson Syndrome side effects can develop quickly, with just a small rash and fever at first. Any signs like these should mean an immediate visit to the doctor.

If you were unaware of these risks, get educated. People who have suffered as a result of these drugs should start at the Dilantin Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) Class Action Lawsuit Investigation. A free consultation with a Dilantin lawsuit attorney is as simple as filling out the short form there. These diseases can be painful and cause a lifetime of consequences for patients and their families. Dilantin side effects, however, could be the basis of a claim against drug makers. Find out if you qualify and contact a Dilantin lawsuit attorney now.
