Özet: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are common cause of cutaneous adverse reactions (CADR’s). Though there are fairly high numbers of agents which commonly cause CADR, NSAID’s holds no exception. NSAIDs can cause multiple cutaneous complications like urticaria, angioedema, acneiform eruption, stevens johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), vasculitis, fixed drug eruption (FDE) etc. NSAIDs are very frequently prescribed drugs and even one of the frequent over the counter sold medications, thus making it more important to have a more detailed knowledge of the vast cutaneous complications it can cause. The present case series focuses on the conglomeration of the few cases of cutaneous complications experienced by the patients on NSAID’s therapy.   Keywords: NSAIDs, severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs), stevens johnson syndrome (SJS), fixed drug eruptions (FDEs), fixed dose combination (FDC), over the counter (OTC)
