Although photosensitivity after photoallergy to topical phenothiazine antihistamines is well known, there have been no previous reports of dioxopromethazine inducing this phenomenon. A housewife used 0.5% dioxopromethazine in Prothanon gel for palpebral pruritus and developed severe dermatitis of the lower
A molecular analysis of cross-reactions in costus-sensitive patients reveals that the most active sesquiterpene lactones are the ones with the lesser number of oxygenated substituents close to the alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone ring. Cross-reactions with sesquiterpene lactones with different skeletons (germacranolide and guaianolide
