Introduction: Practically all physicians encounter a diverse range of suspected cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) in their daily clinical practice. The skin and mucosa are the most often encountered areas for the early presentation of numerous adverse drug reactions. Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are classified as benign or severe. The clinical manifestations of drug eruptions can range from mild maculopapular exanthema to severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs).Objective: To determine the varied clinical and morphological presentations of CADRs and to identify the culprit drug and common drugs causing CADRs.Materials and methods: Patients with clinical features suspected of CADRs presenting to the outpatient department (OPD) of dermatology, venereology, and leprosy (DVL) between December 2021 to November 2022 at Great Eastern Medical School and Hospital (GEMS), Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, India, were considered for the study. This was a cross-sectional, observational study. The patient’s clinical history was taken in detail. This included chief complaints (symptoms, site of onset, duration, drug history, latency time between drug administration and the appearance of cutaneous lesions), family history, associated diseases, the morphology of lesions, and mucosal examination. Upon drug discontinuation, improvement in cutaneous lesions and systemic features were noted. A complete general examination, systemic examination, dermatological tests, and mucosal examination were performed.Results: A total of 102 patients were involved in the study, of whom 55 were males and 47 were females. The male-to-female ratio was 1.17:1, with a slight male majority. The most common age group was 31 to 40 years for both males and females. Itching was the predominant complaint in 56 patients (54.9%). The mean latency period was shortest in urticaria (2.13+/- 0.99 hours) and longest in lichenoid drug eruption (4.33+/- 3.93 months). Most patients developed symptoms after a week of taking the drug (53.92%). A history of similar complaints was present in 38.23% of patients. Analgesics and antipyretics (39.2%) were the most common culprit drugs followed by antimicrobials (29.4%). Among analgesics and antipyretics, aceclofenac (24.5%) was the commonest culprit drug. Benign CADRs were observed in 89 patients (87.25%), and severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) were observed in 13 patients (12.74%). The common CADRs presented were drug-induced exanthem (27.4%). Imatinib-induced psoriasis vulgaris and lithium-induced scalp psoriasis were observed in one patient each. Severe cutaneous adverse reactions were observed in 13 patients (12.74%). Anticonvulsants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and antimicrobials were the culprit drugs for SCARs. Eosinophilia was present in three patients, deranged liver enzymes was present in nine patients, a deranged renal profile was present in seven patients, and death occurred in one patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) of SCARs.Conclusion: Before prescribing any drug to a patient, a detailed drug history and family history of drug reactions need to be obtained. Patients should be advised to avoid over-the-counter usage of medications and self-administration of drugs. If adverse drug reactions occur, it is advised to avoid readministration of the culprit drug. Drug cards must be prepared and given to the patient, mentioning the culprit drug as well as the cross-reacting drugs.
