Abstract
There is a wide range of drugs and their clinical applications that can cause adverse drug reactions (ARD) due to dose, duration, age, and gender. Drugs like ACE inhibitors, which can cause xerostomia, lichen planus, which is caused by NSAIDs and anti hypertensive drugs, ulceration, pigmentation, and osteonecrosis are not only caused by bisphosphonates but also antiangiogenic agents, and malignancy is targeted by rapamycin in the oral cavity. Changes in taste sensation, angioedema, and infection are also some of the side effects of drugs that have been reported. Immunosuppressed patients show more advanced and complex lesions. A clinician shouldn look for adverse effects of medicine.
