Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are undesirable side effects of a pharmacological therapy that have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. A 79-year-old female presented to the Panchakarma OPD of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, with complaints of itching, burning sensation, rash, and swelling in both knees for three days. She was diagnosed with an Upanaha induced contact dermatitis, specifically a Type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The symptoms were completely resolved after a 15-day therapeutic strategy with Sudarshan Ghana vati, Laghusootshekhar rasa, and local application of Shatadhouta ghrita and Aloe Vera (Aloe Berdensis).
