Hi,
Amtas HT Tablet is a combination of calcium channel blocker amlodipin and a diuretic ('water pill') called hydrochlorothiazide commonly prescribed to used treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Its common side effects include swelling around the ankle, constipation, flushing, headache, palpitations, high blood glucose levels, high uric acid levels, high serum lipids and low potassium levels.
There is no documented evidence of this medication causing the generalized skin allergy as in your case. However, ask your doctor for an alternate effective and a safer BP lowering medication or to seek a dermatologist consultation to rule out other causes.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
