title: Porphyria and the dangerous life-threatening drugs.
abstract: The dangerous life-threatening drugs have been identified in 153 acute attacks in 138 porphyric patients by establishing a consistent temporal relationship between the administration of a specific drug and the development of an acute attack. The drugs so identified have been supplemented by a number of others found to be porphyrogenic by testing with a recently devised rat model. Lists of the dangerous and the safe drugs have been compiled.
