Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), now more commonly called IgA vasculitis (IgAV), is the most common form of vasculitis in children, affecting about 20 in 100,000 children annually [1.2.2]. Understanding **what medications should be avoided with HSP** is crucial for managing symptoms and preventing complications.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), an IgA-mediated vasculitis, affects up to 20 per 100,000 children annually, and can also occur in adults. While often post-infection, many ask: **what medications trigger HSP?** A surprising number of common drugs are implicated.

While Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is most commonly triggered by an infection, it can, in rare instances, be initiated by a drug. A number of case reports and safety labels indicate that ibuprofen can cause HSP, a form of immune-mediated vasculitis.
