Neuropathy and Denture Cream Use

Popular denture adhesive creams, including Poligrip, Super Poligrip and Fixodent, have been linked to neuropathy and other serious neurologic conditions. Neuropathy, a condition commonly observed in diabetics, is a nerve disorder that causes numbness and pain in the feet and hands. Other neuropathy symptoms include poor balance, decrease in walking stride and tingling in the extremities. Some experiencing neuropathy may also become unable to move their arms, feet, legs or hands. Severe neuropathy can even cause constipation, sexual dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, and abnormal blood pressure or heart rate.

Denture adhesive creams contain the mineral zinc. While small amounts are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, ingesting large amounts can cause zinc poisoning, copper depletion, hyperzincemia and hypocupremia. Zinc poisoning can lead to neurological problems, neuropathy and sometimes death. Some victims of zinc poisoning have to be confined to wheelchairs. Currently, the FDA does not require these popular denture cream manufacturers to report potential denture cream side effects, leaving millions of American unaware of the health risks of denture cream.

If you have experienced an adverse reaction to denture cream use, seek medical attention and legal counsel immediately. Many denture cream lawsuits are being filed to hold Fixodent and Poligrip responsible for not warning of their products' toxicity.

The denture cream lawyers at Morgan and Morgan can help you seek compensation if you have experienced neuropathy due to denture cream use. Contact us today if you have experience neuropathy or other harmful denture cream side effects.
