Abstract
ABSTRACT Drug-induced pruritus is a dermatological adverse event that is usually underreported. The negative impacts of the unpleasant itching sensation largely affect the quality of life and adherence to the treatment. Here, we report a case of drug-induced pruritus to escitalopram – the most widely used medication in the treatment of depression and anti-anxiety in India; hence, it is pertinent to be familiar with such rare adverse drug reactions which may assist in early detection and better quality of care to the patient.
