Neurological Drug Reactions And Interactions

Any drug can cause any rash. According to the World Health Organization, an adverse reaction (ADR) '¬" or adverse event (ADE) '¬" to a drug has been defined as any noxious or unintended reaction to a drug that has been administered in standard doses by the proper route for the purposes of prophylaxis, diagnosis, or treatment. While most eruptions are mild and self-limited, severe and life-threatening eruptions do occur, as seen in Seizures, Headache, and Myalgia. Death is the ultimate adverse drug event, and has now been incorporated into the book. The Pocketbook of Neurological Drug Eruptions and Interactions describes and catalogs the adverse effects of over 100 commonly prescribed and over-the-counter generic drugs and herbals used in neurology or having neurological side effects. The drugs have been listed and indexed by both their Generic and Trade (Brand) names for easy accessibility.Litt, Jerome Z. is the author of 'Neurological Drug Reactions And Interactions ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415383806 and ISBN 0415383803.
