I was amongst the first people to read this topic today and even shared it amongst those I follow here. Who knew those close to me would be affected by this disease, I just found out this afternoon that I lost an inlaw to SJS sad thing is he was married for not up to a year. I read up on the offending drug but my guess is Mrs. Oben and her husband will lose their case in any court of law against GSK. They should focus on the doctor who prescribed the drug instead. I also implore all Nigerians especially to go through leaflets in drug packs before starting treatments. Here's what I got online now.


"[b]Package Leaflet: Information for the User

Zyloric 100 mg and 300 mg tablets

allopurinol


Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.
•Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
•If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
•This medicine has been prescribed for you only. Do not pass it onto others. It may harm them, even if their symptoms are the same as yours.
•If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

1. What Zyloric is and what it is used for
2. What you need to know before you take Zyloric
3. How to take Zyloric
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store Zyloric
6. Contents of the pack and other information
Go to top of the page

1. What Zyloric is and what it is used for

Zyloric tablets contain a medicine called allopurinol. It works by slowing down the speed of certain chemical reactions in your body to lower the level of uric acid in the blood and urine.

Zyloric is used:
•to reduce or prevent the formation of urate/uric acid deposition in conditions where your body produces too much of a substance called uric acid. These may include gout or some types of kidney stones or certain other types of kidney problems or when you are having treatment for cancer or some other conditions. In gout the uric acid builds up in your joints and tendons as crystals. These crystals cause an inflammatory reaction. The inflammation causes the skin around certain joints to become swollen, tender and sore when only slightly touched. You can also find you get severe pain when the joint is moved.
Go to top of the page

2. What you need to know before you take Zyloric


Do not take Zyloric if:
•you are allergic (hypersensitive) to allopurinol or any of the other ingredients of Zyloric (listed in Section 6).

If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Zyloric.


Warnings and Precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking your medicine if:
•you are of Han Chinese, African or Indian origin
•you have problems with your liver or kidneys. Your doctor may give you a lower dose or ask you to take it less often than each day. They will also monitor you more closely.
•you have heart problems or high blood pressure and you take diuretics and/or a medicine called ACE-inhibitors.
•you are currently having an attack of gout.
•.

Take special care with Zyloric:
•Skin rashes have been reported in patients taking allopurinol. Frequently, the rash can involve ulcers of the mouth, throat, nose, genitals and conjunctivitis (red and swollen eyes). These serious skin rashes are often preceded by influenza-like symptoms fever, headache, body ache (flu-like symptoms). The rash may progress to widespread blistering and peeling of the skin. If you develop a rash or these skin symptoms, stop taking allopurinol and contact your doctor immediately.
•If you have cancer or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome the amount of uric acid may increase in your urine. To prevent this, you need to assure to drink sufficiently to dilute your urine.
•In case you have kidney stones, the kidney stones will become smaller and may enter your urinary tract".....[/b]

Phones10 Common Misconceptions About Smartphone Batteries by talktimi(op): 10:42am On Sep 11, 2015
Have you run into a few old-school users with antiquated ideas about how to treat smartphone batteries? Here are several myths worth debunking.

By Jack Wallen | in 10 Things, January 29, 2015


Ah, the mobile battery ─ a thing of myth, of legend... of frustration. So much sway does battery life hold over us that we buy specific phones that guarantee us a couple of days' usage. And all of this when other devices can eke out a week's worth of usage (think Amazon Kindle).

Users go to some strange measures to keep their batteries going and going and going. Yet much of what we hear about mobile batteries is simply not true. Let's examine some of these misconceptions about the batteries that power the devices we depend upon day in and day out.

1: Batteries have "memory"

Nope. Not at all. People used to think that you had to "train" your battery to make sure it would take the most charge. To do that, people would drain it regularly and charge it — and they'd never plug it in when it was over 50%. The thought was that over time, the battery would develop a memory and allow for just a percentage of the charge. This is not true. If your battery is at 80%, top that baby off. Frequent charges will do no damage to your battery.






2: Off-brand chargers will damage your battery

Although some off-brand chargers aren't optimal (and some even take longer to charge the battery), they will not harm it, as long as the charger is working properly. This means it's perfectly okay to run to Target and buy that cheap charger to replace the factory charger that came with your phone. The one exception to this is the charger that shipped with your Droid Turbo. Make sure, when looking for a replacement, you find one made specifically for that device; otherwise, you won't enjoy the 15-minute charge time that delivers eight hours of usage.

3: Charging your phone overnight will damage your battery

False. Most smartphones are now "smart" enough to know when a battery is at capacity and will stop charging. However, there is one thing you can do to extend the life of your battery. Instead of charging your phone all night, every night, try keeping it charged between 40% and 80% most of the time. This will ensure the longest possible life from that battery. If you can leave it unplugged overnight (every so often), do so.

4: Don't use your phone while it charges

People seem to think that using a phone while it charges will have a negative impact on the quality of charge the battery gets. But unless you're using a low-quality knock-off charger, this is not remotely true. Your battery will charge as expected whether or not you use the device. Think about it this way. With smartphones, chances are the only way there is no syncing of data (in one way or another) is if the phone is off. So even when you aren't literally using your phone, your phone is using your phone and data is being synced. So go ahead and use that phone while it charges.

5: Turning off your phone can damage your battery

Nah. There isn't even the slightest truth to this. Of course, if you leave your phone off for an extended period of time, the battery will drain (that's the nature of batteries). But it is perfectly fine to shut that device off every once in a while. You can even shut the device off and (if applicable) remove the battery if you like. No harm will come to the battery. In fact, for some devices, a simple reboot can help to restore battery functionality. So even though that Android device runs perfectly fine day in and day out, give it a break now and then.






6: You should always charge your phone to full before first using it

Many people think that the first thing they should do with a new smartphone is plug it in and charge it to 100%. This is simply a myth. Remember, smartphone batteries work best between 40% to 80%, and since most phones ship at half capacity, you should be good to go out of the box. As a side note: If you fire up your new smartphone for the first time and the battery is below 40%, you might want to consider taking it back because that battery could be very old.





7: Putting your battery in the freezer will extend its life

I remember that back in the 80s, we placed batteries in the freezer for a short period to try to get a bit more life out of them. It didn't work then and it won't work now. In fact, Li-Ion batteries are negatively affected by both heat and cold. Room temperature is always the best temperature for your smartphone battery. Remember, those devices already get hot, so there's no need to expose them to extra heat — and cold is an enemy of Li-Ion batteries.

Also, make sure you store your device somewhere with airflow. My wife used to place her phone in a sealed plastic baggie when she road her mountain bike. Yes, it's good to prevent moisture from getting into the device. But sealing all that heat in will affect both the phone and the battery. A word of caution: Heat is much more damaging to batteries than cold is.

8: Using the internet will run down the battery faster than anything else

Not true.* The single most draining thing you can do on your smartphone is gaming. The graphics engines are massive energy drainers. If you game a lot on your devices, dim the screen as much as you can while playing (if you want to extend your battery life). But if you can play that game while charging, go ahead and keep that screen at full brightness.






* This also depends upon what you are using the internet for. If you're viewing videos through YouTube, online gaming, or doing other graphics-intensive activities, it will drain your battery faster.

9: Turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS will prolong your battery

In and of itself, this is false. The only time these services actually drain your battery is if they are in use. So having Bluetooth turned on, when you're not using a Bluetooth device, isn't going to drain your battery any more than having Wi-Fi on when you're not accessing the network. Yes, they may pull an insignificant amount of energy from your battery, but they will not drain it over the course of a day. If you're really concerned about getting as much life as possible from your battery, dim your screen.

10: Task managers help prolong your battery life

As much as I hate to say it, third-party task managers do nothing for battery life that the built-in system can't handle. Yes, those task managers can whitelist/blacklist tasks. But in the end, they really don't help your battery any more than the built-in system. You might want to employ a task manager to better control your apps, but don't assume that third-party manager will extend the life of your battery any better than the default tool.

A better approach

Smartphone batteries and smartphone usage of those energy cells get better every year. But those old-school (and some "new school"wink misconceptions simply need to die off. With just the slightest consideration, your battery will last you a long time.

Remember AdBlock Plus? The Google Chrome extension that effectively blocks ads on your desktop browser. Oh well, the guys behind it, just launched an ad-blocking browser for both iOS and Android devices.

adblock-browser

As the name implies, Adblock Browser is a web browser that blocks ads. This offers a faster, more straightforward browsing experience, and happens right there within the app. Adblock Browser virtually ensures privacy, because it also blocks malware-laden ads, trackers and malware domains.

We all know how annoying ads can be. Sometimes they open tabs on the background that stream videos without our consent-these are the kind of scenarios this app helps avoid.

It’s also good to know that Google kicked out the Android version of this app years ago. Maybe they’ve had a change of heart to welcome them back.

It wasn’t too long ago that we celebrated the coming of 4GB RAM on smartphones. The first smartphone with a 4GB RAM chip hit the stores in Q2 2015 – about 6 months ago. Samsung is pushing the envelope further by commencing the mass production of the mobile industry’s first 6GB RAM chips.

So, we are looking at better performance on flagship devices as soon as these chips arrive on smartphones. We wonder what device will first ship with this.

Fork all them whiteman lists, rules and regulations for financial development.

They are what brought Africa to its knees financially. World Bank and IMF comes to mind here.

We need to block all holes through which those thieves who have been in power or close to those in power keep looting us.

We would develop without JP Morgan listing.

We need to break free of these American and European organisations trying to determine our growth and development.

Africa its time we have our own currency; one currency for the continent as suggested by the late Mummuar Ghadaffi.

An African currency would go higher than the Euro used by member countries of the Euro zone due to the huge amount of resources and the endless investment opportunities on the continent

So they expected us to fold our arms and watch the Naira fall same way the Zimbabwean dollar fell.

CBN please continue protecting our currency.

We may feel it hurts now but on the long run we would see the benefits.

China is a shining example. Today the U.S owes China thousands of dollars.
this got me cracking up hard grin please go and study China's economy very well and not that búllshït you've been fed before comparing Nigeria to them.

PhonesSamsung To Lay Off Staff As The Smartphone Bloodbath Continues by talktimi(op): 3:54am On Sep 09, 2015
According to a Bloomberg report, Samsung is set to lay off 10% of its headquarters staff “as the world’s biggest smartphone maker loses sales to Apple Inc. and Chinese vendors.”

Samsung_innovates

Samsung joins the ranks of smartphone makers to lay off staff in order to trim down operations. Before the Korean brand, other brands that have cut staff include: Microsoft, BlackBerry, Lenovo, Amazon, Sony, and HTC. It is a nasty jungle out there. The good thing is that Samsung is being pre-emptive, as the company is still posting profits (though they are decreasing).

As mentioned in my recent article, How Samsung went from exciting to uninspiring, Samsung does need to cut back, as well as innovate differently. Hopefully, the brand can turn things around and return to growing its profits.

Thanks to SirZuma for the tip-off.
