Fixodent Neuropathy Lawsuits

Fixodent Neuropathy

Those who use denture products like Fixodent might be confused and even frightened by what they're seeing these days. Amid product recalls by drug company GlaxoSmithKline and warnings from scientists, Pennsylvania Fixodent lawyers and others are exploring how denture products may be harming many consumers.

The general condition that is cropping up around Fixodent use and the use of other denture creams is called "neuropathy." This term is a general reference to disturbances of the nervous system that often manifest themselves locally, in limbs or other areas of the body. However, neuropathy has many general symptoms, and it can be difficult to tell whether you have this condition.

Causes of Neuropathy

As most Fixodent attorneys know, studies have found a direct causal relationship between high zinc levels in the body and related copper deficiencies that can lead to "zinc induced neuropathy." Doctors also refer to this condition as zinc overload syndrome, zinc excess or zinc toxicity. Zinc in and of itself is not a toxic material; however, as an important factor in several processes within the human body, excessive amounts disturbs the body's chemical balance and can cause illness. Now, scientists are claiming that levels of zinc in Fixodent and other fixatives may be excessively high and a potential health threat.

Dealing with Neuropathy

The bad news is that it can take doctors a long time to correctly diagnose a case of zinc related neuropathy, especially since zinc builds up in the body over time. The good news is that finding out about your zinc levels may be possible through a relatively simple set of medical tests. Fixodent lawyers can't help clients diagnose themselves; that's a physician's job. What the attorneys at Anapol Schwartz can do is to help build and file a Fixodent lawsuit when clients are affected by this chronic condition as a result of exposure to the zinc in Fixodent or other denture products.
