Could Itchy Rashes On Body Be Caused By Diovan?

I was on Diovan for two months and started getting these itchy rashes all over my body. Had to go see a med doctor and he took me off the diovan. Just wondering how long does it take to clear out the diovan from my system and when will these rashes subside and stop itching?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms can be related to an allergic reaction to Diovan.

I suggest to use Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

I also suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.

I recommend to avoid the use of Diovan and consult your doctor for an alternative medication.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
