What Do Rashes On The Back And Shoulders While On Norvasc Indicate?
I have been taking Norvasc for over a year but in past few months I have developed and rash that. Is mainly om ,y back and shoulders , it is very itchy and looks like tiny bites I also have very heavy night sweats, I also take Hydroclorothyzide and Diovan
Very nice of sending names of all medicines that you are taking. Rashes is not a side effect of Norvasc. Probably rashes are due to combination of Diovan or Hydrochlorthiazide. For hypertension the dosages should be fixed according to our age, work and other risk factors. Better to shift to Telmisartan instead of Diovan. You will relieve soon from the symptoms.
Take Care!
