Question: 1 / 1820

Which drug is not associated with causing Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE)?

Methimazole

Procainamide

Terbinafine

Cetirizine

Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) is a rare, adverse reaction to certain medications. It presents similar symptoms to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), such as joint pain, fever, and rash.

Methimazole, Procainamide, and Terbinafine are all drugs that have been associated with causing DILE. Methimazole is an antithyroid medication, Procainamide is a heart medication, and Terbinafine is an antifungal medication.

Cetirizine, on the other hand, is not known to cause DILE. It is a commonly used antihistamine for allergies and is generally well-tolerated by most individuals. Therefore, it is the only correct answer as it does not have a known association with causing DILE.
