Abstract
Introduction: With the increasing use of traditional medicine, there is a need to be vigilant in identifying and reporting adverse reactions associated with them. Punarnava Mandura is a commonly used Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of anemia. It is well tolerated by the patients. To our knowledge, allergic reactions to Punarnava Mandura have not been reported in the literature. We reported a case of adverse cutaneous reaction, which was probably associated with Purnarnava Mandura.
Case presentation: A 60-year-old female patient developed skin rashes over her neck region after taking Punarnava Mandura and other drugs for osteoarthritis. She recovered upon withdrawal of all the medicines and treatment with anti-allergic drugs. The patient re-initiated treatment for joint pain except for Punarnava Mandura and completed the course without a recurrence of the event making the Punarnava Mandura the culprit drug.
Conclusion: Punarnava Mandura may cause allergic reactions, and clinicians should keep such adverse reactions in mind when using traditional medicine and report them to increase the scientific literature in this area.
