    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Peripheral neuropathy is a significant adverse effect of numerous medications.
    • Over 50 drugs are identified as potential causes of sensory or sensorimotor neuropathy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review drugs causing peripheral neuropathy.
    • To highlight the importance of neurological assessment in patients on neurotoxic medications.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive review of clinical drug data.
    • Identification of drug classes and specific agents linked to neuropathy.
    • Recommendation for neurological examinations and nerve conduction studies.

    Main Results:

    • Antimicrobials, antineoplastics, cardiovascular drugs, hypnotics, psychotropics, antirheumatics, anticonvulsants, and others can induce neuropathy.
