Poligrip / Fixodent Denture Cream Lawsuits

Poligrip, Super Poligrip, Polident and Fixodent are widely used denture creams however; these products have been found to cause neurological disorders. Symptoms include:

• Numbness
• Muscle weakness
• Tingling
• Paralysis

This is caused from the zinc in the cream, which enters the body and causes a depletion of copper. Copper depletion results in neuropathy or myelopathy. This zinc poisoning can put you at risk for the above listed symptoms. Zinc is a mineral that aids the body's immune system, cell growth, reproductive system and other bodily functions. However, in large amounts, can be toxic.

Denture creams such as Super Poligrip and Fixodent have a high zinc content. Consumption of high levels of zinc is associated with side effects such as tingling, muscle weakness, numbness, paralysis and other neurological issues such as loss of balance or unexplained weakness.

If you or a loved one has experienced zinc poisoning, reduced copper levels, neuropathy, anemia, bone marrow failure, and you have used a dental cream with high zinc content, your condition may be the result of denture cream poisoning.
