What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Abdomen After Taking Cartia?

I am taking 200 mg. of Toprol XL and 120 mg of Cartia XT.I have been on the Toprol for 14 years but started the Cartia just a week ago. I have a very itchy horrible rash mostly on the trunk of my body.Got it right after I started the Cartia.Are these two combination of drugs causing an allergic reaction?

Hi,

I suggest you to discontinue the drug Cartia and take tablet Cetrizine OD (once daily after food) for 3 days and consult your physician for alteration of drug instead of Cartia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
