When used alone or in combination, Torsemide and Spironolactone can rarely cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which has been reported in various post-marketing surveys. This case report gives details of a 58 year old female patient who developed multiple, erythematous to hyperpigmented papules; some having erythema multiforme like morphology and few vesicles and bullae over various parts of body following the use of the fixed dose combination of Torsemide (10mg) + Spironolactone (50mg) to treat ascites of autoimmune hepatitis.

This case report adds and increases need for awareness of rare but serious side effects of Torsemide and Spironolactone.
