Advil

Children's advil is a popular over-the-counter (OTC) medication used to relieve aches and pains experienced by children from ages two to eleven. Introduced in the late 1990s, it has since been linked to two very dangerous, and often deadly, skin diseases: Steven-Johnsons Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN).

Both are acute skin diseases that can cause rashes, skin peeling, sores and other skin maladies. Until recently, Children's Advil did not carry a label to warn users of these risks. As a result, some patients unknowingly consumed the drug and developed one of the deadly diseases.
