Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Side Effects – Allergic Drug Reaction, Skin Lesions, Scarring & Vision Damage

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a severe reaction of the skin and mucus membranes to various drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter. The condition can be fatal or produce severe permanent injury, such as blindness. See Drug Overview: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Side Effects and Claims for a list of drugs that have been linked to this condition.

If you or a loved one has a reaction to one of these drugs, it’s very important to stop taking the medication and get medical care immediately. The sooner this happens the less likely you are to suffer the more severe reactions, so it’s essential that you know the Stevens-Johnson Syndrome side effects. If you see any of the following side effects after taking drugs related to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, see your health care provider as soon as you can:

  • Skin lesions on legs, arms, palms, hands, feet, face, or lips that may come on suddenly and spread to other parts of the body. These are usually symmetrical and may take the form of blisters;
  • Itching;
  • Fever;
  • Aching joints;
  • Abnormal vision;
  • Bloodshot eyes;
  • Eye pain;
  • Burning eyes with discharge;
  • Mouth sores;
  • Inflammation of the mouth and throat;
