3. Medication Side Effect
An individual could have chills because of a medication. This stems from the muscles and nervous system responding to the drug.
Some examples of medications that cause chills include cancer medications like thalidomide and cytarabine. Seizure medications such as valproic acid are known to cause chills in some people. In addition, an individual could develop this side effect from a heart medication, mood stabilizer, antiviral or antibiotic, just to name a few.3‘Drug-Induced Tremor: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000765.htm.
