ABSTRACT

We report a rare case of Bullous Fixed Drug Eruption induced by the use of Zerodol P (aceclofenac 100 mg, paracetamol 500 mg) and Capsules Amoxicillin 500 mg in a 40-year-old female patient prescribed for dental pain. Temporal association with drug, history of a similar reaction in the past with paracetamol, led us to the diagnosis of fixed drug eruption due to paracetamol. Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a type of drug-induced skin reaction pattern that characteristically recurs at the same skin or mucosal site. Paracetamol is one of the common drugs prescribed as an analgesic–antipyretic agent in all age groups of patients. Prompt recognition and treatment of such adverse drug reactions by these drugs will reduce the associated morbidity. Drug alert cards could play an important role in preventing recurrences.
