Abstract

Drug induced skin reactions although common with older epileptic drugs like phenytoin, lamotrigine, carbamazepine, the newer antiepileptic drugs are less likely to cause. Oxcarbazepine, the succeeder of carbamazepine has better safety profile with respect side-effects and adverse drug reactions. The Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, an adverse drug reaction is found to be less common and there were few case reports in literature with oxcarbazepine. Here we are reporting a case of oxcarbazepine induced Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) Overlap in line with CARE guidelines.
