Abstract

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are a common and significant concern, arising from both immunological and non-immunological mechanisms. Therefore, it is of interest to identify the incidence, patterns and drug associations of CADRs at a tertiary care hospital in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh. A total of 56 cases were observed with fixed drug eruptions (FDEs) caused by NSAIDs being the most frequent. The findings highlight the prevalent role of self-medication and the need for strict regulations, with improved pharmacovigilance to mitigate these adverse reactions.
