Does Amitriptyline Cause Red Rashes On The Chest?
I take Amitripiline 25 mg.for post Breast Cancer itching. One of my side affects from Antitripline is Low Sodium deficiency. This afternoon I had two red marks show up on my chest almost in the collar bone area. I wonder if that is another side effect of this medication?

Hi.
Thank you for writing to HCM.
Any type of medication can cause a rash in people. This may be because of an allergic reaction or the reduced immunity.
It would be a good idea to get the rash checked to confirm the cause of the rash. Many people may notice the rash reduce with icing and with using calamine lotion over the area useful.
This can help to reduce the rash in some people as well. In case the rash persists, getting a check up would be a good idea. All the best.
