Abstract

Fixed drug eruptions (FDE) is a type of adverse reaction to drugs encountered in medical practice. Skin, glans penis is most common site of involvement. We hereby report a case of fixed drug eruption on oral mucosa due to tinidazole, a nitroimidazole-derivative which the patient had taken as he was suffering from gastro-intestinal distress. Very limited case reports have been found in literature with respect to tinidazole causing FDE.
