Association between drugs and vaccines commonly prescribed to older people and bullous pemphigoid: a case–control study
Healthcare professionals need to be aware of BP risk in older people, particularly when prescribing penicillinase-resistant penicillins, gliptins and second-generation antipsychotic drugs, to recognize and manage BP early. Owing to the low disease prevalence, we do not suggest avoiding certain drugs/vaccines to prevent BP. Further research should consider recency, dosage and duration of antibiotic treatments.
