TO THE EDITOR
Fluoxetine is well tolerated and generally used to treat
depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders. Fluoxetine is the first selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that was used in the treatment of mental disorders.1) The most common side effects reported with fluoxetine involve gastrointestinal problems, insomnia, agitation, dizziness, tremor, headache and sexual dysfunction.2) Urticaria is edema of superficial dermis and characterized by erythematous, often pruritic, elevated papules and plaques. If edema also spread into deep dermis called angioedema.3) While the duration of the urticaria and angioedema is less than six weeks, it is termed acute urticaria. Acute urticaria can often be associated with a spesific cause or trigger. The most common cause of acute urticaria and angioedema is enfections and drugs.4) Here,
we report an adult patient who developed acute urticaria and angioedema during treatment with fluoxetine.
