Shocking: See What Happened to Woman after Taking Septrin in Katsina

A young woman called Amina in Katsina state is now a victim of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) after reportedly taking Septrin tablets that left her looking like she has burnt skin.

According to a Twitter user, @nazirgaladanchi who shared the photo on social media, she fell victim to SJS after taking Septrin Sulphamethoxazole tablet. The adverse drug reaction turned her to face very black.
An Instagram user commented on the photo: “This is why self-medication is usually not recommended. If you report a reaction at a hospital , it is usually written in BOLD in front of ur hospital file so subsequently, no one would prescribe that drug to you. 
 
“Some of us are not told and we don’t ask questions at d hospital so we don’t know. Next thing we are ill and self-medicated and go ahead to get that same drug we react to, unknowingly. Drug use awareness needs serious promotion!”
