Omeprazole Induced Skin Hyperpigmentation

Abstract

Omeprazole has been associated with multiple adverse effects including skin reactions but, to date, cutaneous hyperpigmentation has not been described as an adverse effect of this drug. We reported two cases firstly a thirty seven year old patient with a circular pigmented lesion on forearms and genitals after receiving oral tablet of omeprazole. Secondly a fifteen year old female patient developed pigmented patch over her body the patient was taking tablet omeprazole. According to our results, omeprazole itself may induce skin pigmentation.
