It  inhibits  cell  division  by  inhibiting  DNA  gyrase  and topoisomerase  IV  enzymes.  The  most  common  adverse  reactions  are  mild  nausea, vomiting  and/or  abdominal  discomfort  in  3%   to  17%  of  patients,  mild headache  and dizziness  in  0.9%   to  11%  of  patients.  Rashes  including  photosensitivity  can  also  occur. We  report  a  case  of  62  years  old  male,   admitted  in  the  hospital  with  the  history  of itching,  redness  and  raised  multiple  dark  skin  lesion  over  the  chest,  back  and  oral  cavity, bilateral  palms  and  upper  limbs  since  2  days.  On  examination,  multiple  well- defined hyperpigmented  patches  with  peripheral  erythema  seen  over  chest,  abdomen,  and  back. Hyperpigmentation  of  lips  along  with  the  erosion  of  buccal  mucosa  and  angle  of  mouth; erythematous  plaque  and  exfoliation  were  seen  in  the  scrotal  region.  Palms  and  scalp were  spared.  The  patient  was  then  treated  successfully  with  antihistamines  and  steroids. The  Naranjo  and  WHO-Uppsala  monitoring  center  scale  showed  as  a  â€œprobableâ€  adverse drug  reaction.  â€œLevel 4bâ€  severity  was  assessed  using  Modified  Hartwig  and  Seigel severity  assessment  scale.  The  steroid  was  tapered  and  patient  was  discharged  with advice  to  avoid  using  ciprofloxacin  (fluoroquinolones)  group  of  drugs  in  future.</Abstract><Email>drnityapharm@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>8</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2018</year><keyword>Antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin, Fixed  drug  eruption,  Antibiotic,  Naranjo.</keyword><AUTHORS>Suganya G,Nitya S,Isswariya A,Meher Ali R</AUTHORS><afflication>Suganya G,Nitya S,Isswariya A,Meher Ali R</afflication></Article></Articles>
