Advil

Advil (ibuprofen) linked to deadly skin condition

Advil (active ingredient Ibuprofen), a popular over-the-counter medication approved for public use in 1973, may relieve pain, but can have serious and life-threatening side effects. Advil is considered the first non-aspirin, non acetaminophen-based non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) medication.

Advil has been linked to a painful and potentially fatal skin disorder known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). SJS and TEN are believed to be variants of the same condition.

SJS, which usually results from a drug reaction, can leave the skin looking as if it’s been burned. Areas of the skin are destroyed due to cell death.
