Association between methotrexate-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis and furosemide : a real-world disproportionality analysis

BACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare and life-threatening skin adverse reactions that are usually induced by drugs. This study aimed to assess the association between methotrexate and SJS/TEN when combined with furosemide.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Data on suspicious, interactions (PS, SS, I) from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database for 2016-2021 were analyzed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR), information component (IC), proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and the Medications and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

RESULTS: We identified 28 case reports of TEN associated with the combination of furosemide and methotrexate and 10 reports of SJS associated with furosemide and methotrexate. The association of methotrexate with SJS/TEN was more significant in the entire data set when combined with furosemide than when methotrexate was not combined with furosemide. The association of methotrexate with SJS/TEN remained significant when furosemide was combined with methotrexate in a tumor-based disease context. After sensitivity analysis of the entire dataset as well as all antineoplastic drug datasets, consistent results were observed for TEN.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirmed a significant association between methotrexate and SJS/TEN when combined with furosemide, with an increased risk of SJS/TEN.
