Recent studies have shown that the denture cream Super Poligrip (in Original, Ultra Fresh and Extra Care varieties) has been linked to neurological side effects, including numbness, tingling, weakness and pain in the extremities, neuropathy and paralysis.  If you have suffered health problems related to this dental cream, a Super Poligrip lawsuit can help put your life back on track.  You may be entitled to reimbursement for your current and future medical bills.  You may also be eligible to receive compensation for lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Super Poligrip contains zinc, which is safe in small doses.  However, excessive exposure can cause an individual to become copper deficient.  If the body is deprived of copper for a long period of time, neurological problems, including neuropathy, can result.  The problems with Super Poligrip occur when consumers have been using large amounts of the product over a long period of time to keep poor fitting dentures in place.

Neuropathy and paralysis are the most serious health problem linked to Super Poligrip.  Neuropathy is a disorder caused by damaged nerves.  Symptoms mayinclude:

• numbness or tingling in the feet, legs, hands, and/or arms;
• a reduction in strength or ability to move legs or feet, or arms and hands;
• unexplained pain in the extremities;
• a tendency to stumble or fall down; instability and lack of balance;
• change or decrease in walking stride;
• abnormal blood pressure and heart rate;
• reduced ability to perspire;
• constipation and/or bladder dysfunction;
• sexual dysfunction.
