Abstract:Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are one of the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs. Rashes induced by SSRIs seldom have been reported in the literature. Computerized MEDLINE and Current Contents searches yielded a report of two cases of rash induced specifically by paroxetine. We describe a patient who developed a rash that appeared on day 3 of treatment with oral paroxetine 20 mg/day. Her rash was morbilliform, pruritic, and generalized over the trunk and limbs, with some facial involvement. There was no palm or sole involvement. The patient reported that she had experienced a similar reaction to fluoxetine, which may suggest a drug class effect. The rash resolved within 2 days of drug discontinuation and treatment with oral diphenhydramine and topical hydrocortisone cream.
