dc.description.abstractBezafibrate is a commonly used drug in the treatment of dyslipdaemia and is generally considered safe.We report a case of angio-oedema occurring after 10 h ingestion of a slow-release formulation of bezafibrate in a 68-year-old man suffering from hypertriglyceridaemia, hypertension and gout, necessitating trachoestomy for relief of respiratory obstruction. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of angio-oedema to this drug; two cases of anaphylactic reactions have been reported in the literature [1, 2]. The case is also unusual in that symptoms started several hours after ingestion of the suspected drug and there were multiple, less severe episodes over a period of 22 months.en_GB
