Abstract
- Celecoxib (Celebrex(R)) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which inhibits cycloxygenase (COX)-2 selectively. It is widely used in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients because it causes less gastrointestinal injury than conventional NSAIDs. We report a case of erythema multiforme probably induced by this drug. A 63 year old female patient had taken celecoxib for osteoarthritis and 8 days after she developed erythema multiforme on the whole body.
