Can Diet Pills Containing Sibutramine Cause Pityriasis Rosea?
I think I have pityriasis rosea? I went to a clinic paid about $300 but they couldn t determine what I had. I discovered I might have pityriasis rosea after hours of search on the internet. The symptoms, and images of this are exactly what I have. I was taking diet pills which have sibutramine, could this be the cause?

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.
Sibutramine doesnt cause P.rosea.
However if possible you can send me the pics of the lesions so that i can visualize and make a diagnosis.
Are the lesions itchy?
what are the sites and pattern of the lesions?
what is your age?
Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you.
Good Luck.
