Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Atenolol, Lisinopril and Amlodipine could all cause drug reactions of different types.
If you had anaphylactic shock 3 weeks back, it is unlikely that the implicating drug could be atenolol as restarting the same drug could lead to a more severe anaphylactic reaction the 2 nd time.
You have not described the nature of rashes. However, it is better to review your medications with your doctor and avoid the 3 groups of drugs.
You could also reintroduce the drugs one at a time and see if the rashes reappear so that the offending drug can then be eliminated.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
