Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are the most common type of adverse reactions to medications, and this study focused on their epidemiology in a tertiary hospital in Mexico.
- Over a 10-year period, researchers analyzed the frequency of ADRs in 61 hospitalized patients and those attending the outpatient Dermatology Clinic, identifying common conditions like acneiform dermatitis and maculopapular exanthema, primarily linked to certain medications such as prednisone and hydroxychloroquine.
- The findings suggest that multiple medications taken simultaneously are significant risk factors for these reactions, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to improve their skills in recognizing and managing these skin-related issues to reduce risks to patient health.
