Thus far, 945 people who were prescribed Dilantin, a popular anticonvulsant, have claimed the drug caused them to suffer Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

Heart Disease Patients Face Possibly Fatal Zithromax Side Effects

They found that the numbers matched up reasonably well, with 16 people dying while on the generic and 17 people dying either from Zithromax side effects or other causes.
