What Causes Rashes On The Arms And Legs While On Zantac?
I have been taking Zantac for 3 days 150 mg 2 X a day and just now I realize I have a rash on the arms & legs. I also take prescription drugs of Fenofibrate 160 mg.,so or 20 mg. and celeZA 40 mg, a baby aspirin, and magnesium. Am I having a reaction or a side effect so to speak?

Hello,
You should not take all the medications at a time. Sometimes, drug reaction can occur to cause side effects like what you are experiencing. It looks like an allergic reaction either due to drug interaction or some other cause like food intolerance, insect bite, etc.
Stop all medications for a while and take antihistamines like Avil-25mg or Levocetirizine, to help the rashes get reduced. You can visit ER, get examined & take injections for faster action.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
