Adverse Drug Reactions and the Skin

Adverse Drug Reactions and the Skin is a thoroughly modern and comprehensive text/atlas covering the side effects to the skin, from medications, and the dermatological and other internal adverse manifestations of medications used by dermatologists. Illustrated in full color, this major new work will enjoy wide use across a broad cross-section of the medical profession. This volume is divided into three major sections. The first deals with the incidence and mechanisms of drug adverse reactions. The second section discusses reaction patterns that are recognized as characteristic of cutaneous drug reactions to particular medications. The reaction patterns are fully discussed and the text is fully supported by wide use of full-color illustrations. Lists of the drugs most commonly implicated in the causation of these reactions are also included. The final section includes the drugs reported to have caused skin side-effects, in a systematic listing by therapeutic groups. This listing includes dermatological preparations. Thus, the reader is able to research information on skin changes potentially caused by a given drug, and also to determine which drugs cause a given clinical reaction pattern.
