Chantix® and Stevens Johnson Syndrome

Stevens Johnson Syndrome has been reported in patients after taking Pfizer’s smoking-cessation medication, Chantix®. Stevens Johnson Syndrome is an immune-complex-mediated disease that affects a person’s skin and mucous membranes.

Although the syndrome was discovered in 1922, Stevens Johnson Syndrome’s link to Chantix® has been in the news only since 2007 — not long after the late-2006 introduction of Chantix® on the U.S. market.

Symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS)

The early signs reported in people taking Chantix® that match Stevens Johnson Syndrome symptoms are:

aching
coughing
diarrhea
feverishness
headache
vomiting

Blisters from Taking Chantix®?

When the Stevens Johnson Syndrome progresses, inflammation develops and blisters form at sites such as the:

nose
mouth
eyes
genital areas

The individual’s mucous membrane at these sites become inflamed, and a rapidly growing rash appears, often with flat and irregular lesions. The rash may appear first on the face and/or the trunk of the body, and then spread to the rest of the body. The rash can turn into blisters. Blisters around the eyes, genitals, and other areas of the body can be extremely painful.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) can severely disable a healthy individual. It can even be fatal. It also occurs twice as often in females as in males; women are more prone to auto-immune diseases. Such an awful disease is never expected as an outcome of a smoking-cessation treatment.
