Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been on tikosyn since june and in September i developed a rash which has gotten much worse. I have large welts and terrible itching. Have tried creams prescribed by Dr s and they it shouldn t be the tikosyn. But I have changed nothing other than being put on the drug.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergy reaction to Tikosyn. I suggest you to take daily antihistamines. You should also use calmine lotion for local relief and reconsider an alternative medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
