Abstract
Nifedipine, a calcium-channel-blocking agent, is widely used as an antianginal and antihypertensive drug. Cutaneous reactions to nifedipine are extremely rare. A review of the literature revealed only three additional cutaneous eruptions which include vasculitis, erythematous edema of the legs and erythromelalgia. We present the first case of fixed drug eruption due to nifedipine.
