Abstract
Several drugs have been shown to cause vasomotor troubles such as Raynaud's phenomenon, erythromelalgia, vasculitis, livedo reticularis, or acrocyanosis. Vascular symptoms may develop a few weeks or more after drug initiation, particularly when other drugs are associated than can potentiate vascular side effects. In this review, the authors described the main characteristics of drug-induced vasculopathy, particularly those associated with ergotamine derivates, beta blocking agents or antineoplastic chemotherapy.
