    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Allergy & Immunology

    Background:

    • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for pain and inflammation.
    • Sulindac is an NSAID commonly prescribed for various conditions.
    • Adverse drug reactions, including anaphylaxis, are a concern with NSAID use.

    Observation:

    • A 64-year-old male experienced severe shortness of breath after ingesting a 200-mg sulindac tablet.
    • The patient presented with hypotension (blood pressure 50 mm Hg) and significant respiratory distress (wheezing).
    • Marked cardiovascular instability persisted for 24 hours post-reaction.

    Findings:

    • The patient's anaphylactic reaction was successfully managed with intravenous epinephrine, corticosteroids, and antihistamines.
    • Complete recovery was achieved following prompt and appropriate medical intervention.
    • This case highlights a severe hypersensitivity response to sulindac.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for anaphylaxis with sulindac and other NSAIDs.
    • Careful patient selection and monitoring are crucial when prescribing NSAIDs.
    • Prompt recognition and management of anaphylaxis are essential for favorable outcomes.
