Professional:In an isolated case report, a man whose psoriasis had been well controlled on methotrexate for ten months developed pellagra-like photosensitive dermatitis two weeks following the addition of haloperidol. A possible interaction between methotrexate and haloperidol, combined with a deficiency of niacin, riboflavin and other water-soluble vitamins, was considered. The condition resolved within 5 days after discontinuation of haloperidol and initiation of multivitamin supplements, but reactivation occurred less than 24 hours after the next dose of methotrexate was given, probably due to photosensitivity recall phenomenon, which is an important but rarely encountered adverse effect of methotrexate. Treatment was stopped, and within one week, the dermatitis resolved. Methotrexate was restarted two weeks later without incident.
