Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been taking carvedilol for high blood pressure for several years. A few weeks after a mild stroke and some medication changes, I developed hives which do not go away. I have tried eliminating each medication for a day to see if any had an affect on the hives. Doesn t seem so. Can the carvedilol have supressed my adrenaline levels creating the hives - going on now for 3 weeks.
Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Carvedilol can cause hives all over the body in case of an allergic reaction. I suggest you to take antihisamines daily and use calmine lotion for local relief. If you do not get better you should take prescribed corticosteroids from your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
