Diltiazem-associated Photodistributed Hyperpigmentation.

Diltiazem-associated Photodistributed Hyperpigmentation. Yale J Biol Med. 2020 Mar;93(1):45-47 Authors: Siegel JD, Ko CJ Abstract Diltiazem is a calcium-channel blocker commonly used for the treatment of hypertension. Common adverse effects include dizziness, headache, and edema. Fewer than 20 cases of diltiazem-associated photodistributed hyperpigmentation have been reported in the literature. Here, we present the case of a 71-year-old woman with new-onset facial hyperpigmentation 6 months after initiating treatment with diltiazem. PMID: 32226335 [PubMed - in process]
