Hi,

You already using this drug since 5 years but it won't cause any side effects. Since seven months you developed symptoms may be due to Losarton or Diltiazem or varicose veins or contact dermatitis or cellulitis, etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. You may try alternate medication in place of Losarton. Please consult your physician/dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Regards,
