What Causes Swelling On Temple Area And Near Eye After Taking Allopurinol?
I have rash on temple area of face from Allopurinol.. Stopped taking the drug for 2 days now. The rash seems to have gotten a little better, but there is some swelling on that area and near eye. I was told by my doctor, who is a specialist to stop the medication if rash occurred. Is the swelling a normal side effect?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the given history suggested the hypersensitivity reaction due to the drug called "Allopurinol" in very rare case this drug induces the reaction but the eruption of rash goes away as soon as you stop taking the drug and nothing to worry about this even no need to take any medicine for this take care and have nice day.
