Zinc Poisoning Due To Denture Cream Use
GlaxoSmithKline announced they are removing zinc from three varieties of denture cream, amid lawsuits claiming years of excessive use caused neurological damage and blood problems in consumers from Zinc Poisoning.
Products like Fixodent and Poligrip containing zinc and excessive use may result in illness. Tests for zinc levels in your blood can determine quickly whether you have a zinc overdose in your body. Action should be taken immediately against zinc Poisoning if you or someone you care about has been experiencing symptoms such as numbness, tingling and hypersensitivity and you use Poligrip or Fixodent, please consider being examined by your doctor and contact an attorney or Lawyer familiar with the Denture Cream Lawsuit.
In the medical journal Neurology, Dr. Sharon P. Nations of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and her colleagues report on four denture-wearing patients who developed neurological problems. All had abnormally high levels of zinc in their blood, accompanied by abnormally low levels of copper. All these patients used Fixodent and Polgrip which contains zinc and ...
... habitually used "extremely large amounts.
Testing revealed, Denture Cream Poisoning caused by high zinc concentrations in the creams the patients used. This is the only "plausible explanation" for their high zinc levels and copper deficiency, the researchers say. Used as recommended, a tube should last from 3 to 10 weeks, the researchers note, but patients in the report were all using at least two tubes a week. People who incur permanent damage from zinc poisoning may be eligible for compensation for loss, suffering and medical treatments.
An estimated 35 million people are using denture adhesives and may have Zinc poisoning. If you have used denture cream and show the symptoms of denture cream Poisoning, we suggest that you contact your Doctor, and a Lawyer familiar with either the Fixodent Lawsuit or Poligrip Lawsuit.
