Drug Reactions
Drug reactions are adverse skin responses caused by medications that require prompt diagnosis and appropriate dermatological management.
About Drug Reactions
Drug reactions occur when the skin responds abnormally to certain medications, including antibiotics, painkillers, anti-epileptics, and other commonly prescribed drugs. These reactions may appear as rashes, itching, redness, swelling, hives, or more severe skin involvement. Some reactions are mild and temporary, while others can be serious and require immediate medical attention. At our clinic, an experienced dermatologist in Ludhiana carefully evaluates the type, severity, and cause of the reaction. Identifying the responsible drug and preventing future exposure is a key part of management. Under the care of a certified skin specialist in Ludhiana, patients receive timely treatment, monitoring, and guidance to ensure safe recovery and long-term skin health.
