• adverse cutaneous reactions
• psychoactive drugs

Adverse cutaneous reactions to psychoactive drugs are common. They disturb and interrupt therapy often leading to non-compliance. The majority of adverse cutaneous reactions are benign if they are promptly recognized. Withdrawal of suspected drug is the first step for consequent treatment. As some adverse cutaneous reactions are life threatening, the most important action is to discontinue the drug usage promptly, thus minimizing morbidity. It is very important for physicians to be aware of the potentially serious adverse skin reactions to psychoactive drugs. Patients must be provided with simple information on these adverse effects.
