Abstract
Among the most often observed drug hypersensitivity reactions in clinical practise are those brought on by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs. These reactions are characterised by angioedema, urticaria or both. Mainstay of treatment is cessation of NSAID intake. We describe a rare case of bilateral localised eyelid angioedema caused by aceclofenac.
Keywords: Angioedema; Hypersensitivity, Urticaria, Aceclofenac.
