Taking Actemera IV For Rheumatoid Arthritis. Increased Dose, Skin Started Breaking Out. Biaxin, Fucidin Not Helping. Medication?
I am taking Actemera IV for severe rhuatoid arthritis 375 ml for the last 22 months and in March my Doctor upped it to 750 mls as the lower dose stopped working and I have had 6 months of this dose. Since June my skin has started breaking out and now I am getting blisters on my legs my behind and nowmy face . I have used Biaxin with bactrban cream thenclyamysen fr 10 days and then cipro for a week with fucidin cream and still not clearing up and now I am on two other creamsEMO Cort 2.5% and clotrimaaderm 1% cream what else can I use
Hi, it appears to be due to the over dose of the drug, so first of all either you should stop, or decrease the dose of the actemera. then you should get the culture and sensitivity of the discharge of the eruptions, and should get treated according to the result. So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
