Carbamazepine (CBZ) can produce serious side-effects such as hepatitis, LES, agranulocytosis, aplastic anaemia and skin eruptions. The latter, of polymorphous appearance (morbilliform, orticorioid and vesicular) depend on the levels of CBZ and retreat rapidly with the administration of prednisone. 2 cases of rash following introduction of the drug quickly resolved with its suspension are reported.
