Could Red Spots On Legs Be Caused By Side Effects Of Taking Chantix?
I have been taking Chantix for about 3 1/2 weeks now. Tonight I noticed a lot of various sized red spots on my legs. They don't itch or hurt and are not like a blister, but there are a lot of them. Could this be some sort of reaction to the drug?

Nausea occurs commonly in people taking chantix. Other less common side effects include headache, difficulty sleeping, and abnormal dreams. Rare side effects reported by people taking varenicline compared to placebo include change in taste, vomiting, abdominal pain, flatulence, and constipation.but usually rashes or red spots may not be due to chantix.consult a dermatologist.
