Orange Body Fluids

This side effect is associated with the antibiotic Rifampin. It can cause urine, sweat, and tears to turn orange.

Red Man Syndrome

This is a serious side effect of Vancomycin, causing a red rash on the face, neck, and upper torso. It's typically due to rapid infusion.

Monday Disease

This refers to a condition primarily experienced by workers in industries using nitroglycerin. Tolerance develops during the work week, but upon weekend break, re-exposure leads to headache, tachycardia, and dizziness.

Positive Coombs' Test

This test is a hallmark of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. It indicates antibodies against red blood cells, often caused by medications like Methyldopa.
