Abstract

A cutaneous adverse drug reaction (CADR) refers to an unexpected skin and mucosal reaction caused by drug administration. In the present case, a 65-year-old male presented with generalized itching and a maculopapular rash after taking Western medication, including anticonvulsants and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). He was treated with Gamiseungmagalgeun-tang, a traditional Korean herbal medicine. After treatment, the patient's symptoms improved, without recurrence. Based on this experience, traditional Korean herbal medicine, including Gamiseungmagalgeun-tang, may be beneficial for improving symptoms of CADRs.
