Abstract
Carbamazepine has been well documented to be associated with Steven–Johnson Syndrome (SJS). The newer anti-epileptic oxcarbazepine has not been demonstrated to be associated with this rare side effect except in some case reports. We present a case of SJS caused due to use of oxcarbazepine in a patient of schizophrenia.
