A Case of Lansoprazole-Induced Bullous Pemphigoid After Zantac Recall.
2021
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay of treatment for many gastric acid-related diseases with a relatively safe drug profile. One of the rare side effects is PPI-induced bullous pemphigoid. We describe a case of new-onset bullous pemphigoid on initiation of lansoprazole for esophagitis after a nationwide Zantac recall. This condition can improve with the cessation of PPI and the use of corticosteroids. However, it poses a significant challenge to the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease by limiting available pharmacologic options. In addition, this case highlights the negative effects of a drug recall.
