Does Amiodarone Cause Skin Allergy?
My mother is 92 years old and on 100 MG of amiodarone daily. She has been taking for about 1 year. She is having some large red places coming up on her skin which looks like a bite of some kind. First it was on her face and now she has one on her arm. Can this medicine cause skin problems?
