Could Rashes And Itchy Skin Be The Side Effects Of Preterax?
My husband has been taking Preterax for treatment of Hypertension for 15- 20 years with good results and no side effects. He has recently (last 3 months) started having very itchy skin and a rash all over his body. Could this be a side effect of Preterax?

Hello,
As you mentioned your husband it taking the medicine for last 15-20 years, the itching and rash are less likely related as side effect of the medicine. I suggest you seek help from a dermatologist who can examine the rash and suggest appropriate treatment for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
