Abstract
Pentazocine is an opioid analgesic introduced in 1967 which was purported to have no addictive potential. However, in the subsequent years, several reports have shown it to have abuse potential and cutaneous complications of pentazocine abuse have been reported.We report a case of cutaneous complications of pentazocine abuse in a 32-year-old male presenting with multiple ulcers.
