Feeling Hot, Shivering Occasionally. Could It Be Caused By Antibiotics?

Have been taking Tetralysal 300 for approx 9mths during which time I have been experiencing fever like symptoms ie extremely hot both day and night with occasional shivery spells I wonder could the antibiotics be the cause of these symptoms? The treatment is for Rosacea . I am female and also taking Bisoprolol , Bendroflumethiazide and Warfarin ( for treatment following diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation 3 years ago). Age 79. GP tells me medication is cause of this nonstop heat but ceasing blood pressure treatment for 1 week had absolutely no effect so I should welcome advice re possibility of remaining medication being the culprit. Any advice given will be greatly appreciated.

Hi mjth,
Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
The antibiotic as well as the Warfarin can be a cause for the shivering episodes.
I think you should stop the medicine in supervision of your physician and then re-administer under vigil and monitoring.
Keep a monitoring of INR.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
