Abstract
|
|
|
|
Psychotropic drugs are one of the most widely prescribed drugs. Adverse skin reactions are associated with psychotic drugs. These drug side effects occur in about 2% to 5% of patients. Mostly, the prognosis is good. However, some may be life-threatening. Life-threatening side effects are mainly related to mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and antipsychotic drugs. Once these side effects occur, the drug should be discontinued and treated for cutaneous and related symptoms. However, it would be better if prevention could be done before these side effects develop. Interestingly, mild adverse events occur within a few days, and severe adverse events develop after 1-3 weeks. Regardless of its severity, skin adverse effects can cause secondary issues that increase the cost of treatment and lower the patient`s adherence to medications, so clinician should be able to recognize and respond quickly to this problem.
