Abstract:
There are various kinds of antihypertensive agents with complex chemical structures. Common antihypertensive agents are divided into 5 classes, including diuretics, calcium antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers and β-blockers, and can cause various types of drug eruptions. This review summarizes clinical characteristics, possible pathogenesis, treatment and consequences of antihypertensive agent-induced drug eruptions, including angioedema, and lupus erythematosus-like, psoriasis-like, eczematoid, herpetiform or lichen planus-like drug eruptions, in hope to facilitate their early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and to provide information and ideas for clinical and basic researches into them.
