Can Increasing Dose Of Diovan Cause Red Bumps On Face And Cough?
After the doctor doubled the dose of Diovan, I broke out in red bumps on my face and scattered areas on my body. These bumps became infected. I also seem to have developed a persistent cough. The increase in medicine was the only thing that changed so I m wondering if the Diovan could be the culprit even though there was never a reaction on the smaller dose I have been taking for years.

Hello,
In my opinion, the symptoms are not related to the use of Diovan. The use of Diovan does not cause infected bumps. It is probably a bacterial infection. I recommend to clean the bumps with hydrogen peroxide and cover them with an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
