Abstract

Every drug can produce unexpected side effects even when used according to the standard dose. Adverse drug reactions can involve any organ and system of the body and are commonly mistaken for signs of underlying disease. The oral cavity can also manifest drug-induced reactions. An optimum salivary function is very crucial in maintaining oral health. The number of drugs and chemicals that can produce adverse reactions in the oral cavity is on the rise. A detailed history of the medication that the patient is taking should be asked as many patients take prescription and non-prescription drugs daily. A clinician should keep themselves updated with the list of offending drugs for proper management of these drug-induced lesions. This will help them in identifying the toxic and unwanted effects of the drugs that can be easily mistaken for symptoms of a common disease.
