Could The Clonidine For BP Cause Red Rashes On Forearms?

I am on clonidine 0.1mg and after arriving in FL and being out in the sun, I have noticed a red rash on my forearms and a little on my back. Last year when we were in FL , I had a skin reaction to another BP drug I was on. Could the clonidine be affecting me the same way?

Hi,

The red rash may or may not be because of Clonidine. If the red rash has occurred for the first time following Clonidine intake, then it is more likely because of Clonidine only.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Grace, General & Family Physician
