Trileptal Litigation

In April of 2005, the manufacturer of Trileptal®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and the FDA issued updates to the warnings and precautions sections of the drug's prescribing information. The revisions addressed serious skin reactions and multi-organ hypersensitivity that have been reported in connection with Trileptal use. The changes included warnings about Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, dangerous skin conditions associated with use of the medication. These conditions can be life-threatening and patients experiencing symptoms of these conditions should seek the assistance of a medical professional immediately.
