Family, Internal Medicine, General Medical Questions - Stephen Johnson Syndrome


Expert: Robert Borucki - 10/29/2009

Question
I absalutley hate taking medicines exspecially antibiotics!!!  
The thing that scares me the most is stephen johnson syndrome.  Can you please tell me how soon after taking a medicine that would develops if it was going to, thanks!

Answer
If you are on antibiotics and get this extremely rare reaction  (it can occur with any medication)  it can occur starting a couple days after starting the antibiotics to a couple of days after you have finished the antibioitics.    With concerns I have about antibiotics, that is very low on my list.
