Sulfonamides are a group of antibiotics that can cause a severe skin reaction known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

Antipsychotics, a class of medications used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders, can cause tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle movements.

Acetaminophen, a widely used over-the-counter pain reliever, can cause liver damage, especially when taken in high doses or for prolonged periods.

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when certain drugs, including SSRIs, MAOIs, and TCAs, increase serotonin levels in the brain to toxic levels.

Hydralazine, procainamide, and isoniazid are among the drugs that have been associated with an increased risk of developing drug-induced lupus, an autoimmune condition that can affect multiple organs.

Clozapine, methotrexate, and valproic acid are among the drugs that can cause agranulocytosis, a condition characterized by a severe decrease in the number of white blood cells.

Both typical and atypical antipsychotics can cause NMS, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by muscle rigidity, fever, and altered mental status.

Minocycline, tetracycline, and doxycycline, which belong to the tetracycline class of antibiotics, can cause black hairy tongue, a harmless condition characterized by a dark, hairy appearance of the tongue.

Tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and sulfonamides are among the drugs that can cause photosensitivity, a condition in which the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight and can develop sunburn more easily.

Aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, and aspirin are among the drugs that can cause ototoxicity, a condition characterized by damage to the inner ear that can lead to hearing loss and balance problems.

Both typical and atypical antipsychotics can cause EPS, a group of movement disorders that can include tremors, muscle rigidity, and involuntary muscle contractions.

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when certain drugs, including SSRIs, MAOIs, and TCAs, increase serotonin levels in the brain to toxic levels.
