Uncommon side effects of common drugs in patients with familial dysautonomia.

Purpose: Patients with the autosomal recessive disorder of familial dysautonomia typically exhibit exacerbated adverse side effects to many common drugs. We aimed to catalog these adverse effects - with a focus on common drugs that are frequently administered to FD patients and compare their incidences to those within the general population.

Methods: We used data of 595 FD patients from an international database with information on drugs received and adverse effects.
