26-year-old lady sufers skin burn after using GlaxoSmithKline medication

Published by Kemi Filani on Sat, 13 May 2017


UK pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), have been dragged to court by a 26-year old student, Khaliah Shaw, who claimed she received the wrong dosage of a medication that caused her skin to burn off. According to Khaliah Shaw, a graduate student at Georgia College and State University in the US, she was prescribed an anti-seizure medication lamotrigine, marketed as Lamictal in the US in 2014, according to a report by 11Alive, an NBC-affiliated TV station in Atlanta.Within weeks of taking the drug, Ms Shaw claims blisters broke out over her body. She told the news outlet she was 'in excruciating pain' and felt like she was 'on fire'. The ordeal led to her diagnosis of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare skin disorder that usually occurs in reaction to a medication or an incorrect dosage. Ms Shaw spent five weeks in a medically induced coma while her skin slowly peeled off. .She told the news outlet that the syndrome left her skin scarred and she is slowly losing her vision, while her finger nails might never grow back. ..The syndrome has no cure and doctors told her she might relapse. 'They're telling me this could happen again, and they're telling me if it did happen again, that it would be worse,' Ms Shaw told 11Alive.Ms Shaw is now suing the drug manufacturer GSK for promoting the product without warning of the risks, reportedly demanding more than $3.45m. http://feeds.feedburner.com/kemifilani/LqRf
