title: [Cutaneous complications of anti-hypertensive drugs].
abstract: Anti-hypertensive drugs are prescribed frequently and can cause cutaneous adverse drug reactions. The extent of this side effect accounts for about 10-60% of the total adverse drug reactions due to antihypertensive drugs. This review analyses anti-hypertensive drugs by class and examines various cutaneous pathologies that could be related to these treatments. We also call attention to the serious and potentially lethal cutaneous complications linked to these drugs.
