Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good evening, I am 68 yrs young and having an adverse reaction to something! I have broke out in hives or welts. I take medication but the only thing I took today was Garcnia Cambrogia with coffee earlier today and then a few hours later I took a pain pill; oxycodone 15, with coffee. Could either one of these cause me to have this reaction. I also have psoriasis
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you're taking Oxycodone previously with no history of rash in the past, now the rash is appeared means it is due to Garcinia cambogia.
It is also cause gastric irritation,liver toxicity and allergic reaction etc.
You may take tablet Chlorpheniramine Maleate twice a day for five days. If necessary you may use oral or parenteral steroids. Apply moisturizer cream over the rash, if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
