What Causes Rashes On The Arms And Legs After An Open Heart Surgery?
I have a substantial rash on my arms, thighs and legs. I ve had this for years since my open heart surgery. My Dermatologist says it is a drug interaction after taking a biopsy. I and on Coreg, Valsartan, and warfarin. She already took me off avastastatin (for cholesterol). Can you advise me the most likely drug causing my very itchy rash? I m itching way too much! Thanks, Don
Warfarin that is the anticoagulant you are taking is causing you rashes. Its essential to take Warfarin niw as maintenance. Please have a check from your physician who can give you anti allergic which will not interfere with other drugs.
