Brief Answer:
Deslor with Xarelta will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your query and concern.

Rash in your case is due to Equisilis,may not be due to Metolor.

So Switching on to Tab.Xarelta is a good option.

Also add Tab.Deslor along with Tab.Xarelta to minimize skin reaction.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
