    Can one develop a rash from a medication?

    Yes, it is possible to develop a rash from a medication. Drug rashes are a common side effect of many medications, and they can range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Drug rashes are caused by the body's immune system overreacting to a medication. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as: 1. Allergy: Some people are allergic to certain medications. This means that their immune system identifies the medication as a threat and produces antibodies to fight it off. These antibodies can cause a rash and other allergic reaction. 2. Side effect: Some medications can cause a rash as a side effect, even if you are not allergic to them. This is because the medication can irritate the skin or cause other changes in the body that lead to a rash.
