摘要:
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors were developed in the quest of enhanced analgesic efficacy devoid of gastric side effects. High usage of etoricoxib by prescription as well as self-administered routes has led to increasing reports of side effects and adverse reactions including dermatologic reactions in 0.1%-0.3% of cases. The present report enumerates a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis induced by etoricoxib.
