Trileptal®: For Partial Seizures and As a Mood Stabilizer
You might have heard about a Trileptal® lawsuit from San Diego news media or your local news outlets. Trileptal® is an anticonvulsant and a mood-stabilizing medication. Used as a treatment for epilepsy and sometimes for bipolar disorder, Trileptal® was introduced in the United States in 2000. It’s been prescribed for both adults and children. More than 1 million people have been prescribed this medication, and many patients have reported serious symptoms that appear to be side effects of Trileptal®, including severe skin reactions and organ hypersensitivity.
Some of these side effects are life-threatening. If you or someone you are caring for has taken or is still taking Trileptal®, lawyers at the San Diego offices of the Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center can be consulted for a full description of the potential risks of this medication.
Trileptal Warnings
A Trileptal® lawsuit (filed here in San Diego or elsewhere) may be an appropriate course of action for someone who has suffered severe side effects of Trileptal® use. Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Trileptal®, recently revised the patient information issued with Trileptal® to notify patients of the serious risks that have been reported in conjunction with the use of this drug. The FDA also issued a warning regarding its use. Trileptal® patients who develop hyponatremia (low sodium levels), Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (two very serious skin reactions), breathing difficulties, extreme fatigue or nausea, double or blurry vision, worsening of their seizures, or other notable symptoms should contact a physician immediately.
