Question 1

are any doctors aware if johnson and johnson baby powder uses talc with asbestos still. recently found out they have used asbestos and i have been using it for about half a year now, thanks. i live in australia btw?

Accepted Answer

: The ingredients may be listed on the label. A quick online google search suggests that J&amp;J baby powder marketed in Australia is mostly cornstarch, without talc or asbestos. (Probably asbestos hasn't been used for many years.) This sounds like nothing to worry about, but you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly. Good luck.

Question 2

i'm 22 weeks pregnant, i crave to eat johnson baby powder. so much that my mouth water just thinking about it. will this have any health risk to baby?

Accepted Answer

If you had decided..: .. to eat the baby powder, it still wouldn't hurt your child.. unless you get sick from ingestion, then your sickness may give the baby a ride.  But overall try not to eat the baby powder.  Take your vitamins and eat good food instead.

Question 3

what if you had steven johnson syndrome from a medication that you need to take. can you ever potentially take that medicine again in the future?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, No: you cannot have this medicine again in the future, your doctor will have to seek an alternative. If it were just a severe allergic reaction or even anaphylaxis, and no alternative available, desensitization can be tried by an allergist/immunologist, but in of case of history of SJS caused by the drug, desensitization won't work, the drug has to  be avoided, good luck

Question 4

hi i am currently taking penicillin phenoxymethyl can i get steven-johnson syndrome from this medication i am so frightened i am also taking sertraline im so scared im going to get this?

Accepted Answer

: Look up specifically the exact med you are taking in Drugs.com.  SJ is very rare so I would worry about other things. Discuss your worries with your Dr. They can help better than we can here.
