- Title
Allergic Cutaneous Drug Eruptions with Quetiapine: A Case Study.
- Authors
Joshi, Mohita; Kar, Sujita Kumar
- Abstract
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are relatively common side effects of drugs such as carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and chlorpromazine in comparison to other psychotropic medications.[2] Evi- dence suggests that following a cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction to one drug, the possibility of similar side effects may increase to other drugs.[2] With antipsychotic use, dermatological side effects are rarer than other systemic side effects; hence, they are rarely discussed in the literature.[3],[4] Cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions are rare with quetiapine.[1] Among the dermatological side effects, pigmentation is relatively common with quetiapine.[1] Some evidence suggests that quetiapine may cause cutaneous vasculitis.[5],[6] However, the symptoms resolved on conservative treatment without dose reduction or stoppage of quetiapine. The use of medications in higher doses and in combination is associated with adverse drug reactions. To the Editor, Multiple psychotropic medications (mood stabilizers, antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines) are often prescribed to patients with bipolar affective disorder with severe and difficult-to-treat mood episodes.
