New and expanded state-of-the-art and color-illustrated edition of Dr. Jerome Litt's immensely popular, universally acclaimed reference book on drug eruptions. Published in large-format softcover binding with a full-color atlas section showing the most commonly encountered reactions, this 1999 edition catalogs more than 620 generic and over 1,100 trade-name drugs (cross-referenced for quick look-up) with their adverse cutaneous reactions: skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes, and others. New in the 1999 edition are pharmaceutical company names for trade-name drugs and a list of other, less common trade-name drugs from the U.S. and elsewhere. Also new are a list of classes of drugs, 50 new generic drugs that include Viagra (sildenafil), Zyprexa (olanzapine), Trovan (trovafloxacin), and others, and many new combination drugs, including Arthrotec, Lexxel, Lotrel, Tarka, Teczem, and more. The updated literature citations now include more than 19,000 references, many pre-Medline and some going back as far as 1922. This 1999 edition contains 305 references to adverse reactions from carbamazepine (Tegretol); 89 references to lupus erythematosus from hydralazine (Apresoline); 291 references to adverse reactions from procainamide (Pronestyl), 165 of which refer to lupus erythematosus; and thousands more. Indexed by both generic and proprietary drug names as well as by reaction patterns. Published annually.
