    GlossaryDrug Eruptions

    adverse skin reactions caused by certain medications

    Drug eruptions, also known as drug-induced eruptions, are adverse skin reactions that occur as a result of taking certain medications. These reactions can range from mild rashes to severe, life-threatening conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome. They are typically diagnosed based on the timing of the medication intake and the appearance of the skin changes, and treatment often involves discontinuing the offending drug and managing symptoms.
