Mr Xavier, a 60-year-old accountant, was recently started on allopurinol 100 mg two months ago. This was increased to 200 mg three weeks ago in your clinic. He informed you that he was diagnosed with UTI and started on ciprofloxacin. Today, he returns to your clinic with maculopapular rashes on his trunk and abdomen. He has a low-grade fever of 37.5°C. Which is the most appropriate next step?
- A. Stop Ciprofloxacin and continue the chronic medications
- B. Prescribe paracetamol for pain relief and switch to Moxifloxacin 500 mg bd instead
- C. Continue medications and check for Dengue serology
- D. Stop Allopurinol
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rashes and fever post-allopurinol hike scream drug reaction stopping it nips hypersensitivity, like SJS risk, tied to uric acid meds over cipro's rarer skin hit. Quitting cipro alone misses the likely culprit; swapping antibiotics or dengue checks dodge the drug link; full stop's overkill. Clinicians halt allopurinol, watching this chronic fix's nasty turn, a swift call.
