Metoprolol Induced Dupuytren’s Contracture
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Metoprolol is a widely used beta-adrenergic blocker that is commonly prescribed for a variety of cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Various drugs are known to cause musculoskeletal symptoms, such as dupuytrens contracture, arthralgias, myalgias, Peyronie’s disease, drug-induced lupus and serum sickness. Although beta blockers also have a noted side effect of dupuytrens contracture, as listed on the product label, there is lack of literature and awareness that this class of medications can cause dupuytrens contracture2. We are reporting a case of male, who was taking metoprolol for hypertension, developed dupuytrens contracture after 2 years of using it.
