Drug-induced pruritus is itchiness of the skin caused by medication, a pruritic reaction that is generalized.[1] : 57
Signs and symptoms [ edit ]
Depending on the causing agent, symptoms may start out acutely, go away when the drug is stopped, or develop into a chronic pruritus that lasts longer than six weeks.[2]
A common anti-malarial medication called chloroquine may cause pruritus for unknown reasons. Other antimalarials like amodiaquine , halofantrine , and hydroxychloroquine have also been linked to pruritus , albeit less frequently and to a lesser extent.[2]
Another class of medications known to occasionally cause itching is known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors .[3]
Itching is one of the most frequent adverse effects of opioid therapy.[4]
A common artificial colloid used in clinical fluid management is hydroxyethyl starch (HES). Well-defined side effects, such as coagulopathy , clinical bleeding, anaphylactoid reactions, and pruritus , can make using HES more difficult.[5]
Epidemiology [ edit ]
Thirty-three percent of the 3,671 cases of cutaneous adverse drug reactions included itching as a common complaint.[6]
