Hi,
Greetings from HealthcareMagic!
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!
