Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Tikosyn contains Dofetilide which is a class III antiarrhythmic agent. It is unlikely that after one year of use , this drug would cause such a reaction.

Kindly upload an image of the rash to advise accordingly.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
