Abstract

Gliptins are hypoglycemic drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, as monotherapy or together with metformin. They were incorporated in 2006 and since then there have been multiple reported cases that demonstrate their association with bullous pemphigoid. We report a case of an 83-year-old patient with a diagnosis of vildagliptin-induced bullous pemphigoid.
