What Causes Senile Purpura On Forearms While On Cilazapril And Reutenox?
I have senile purpura happening on my forearms after gentle bumps.Could Cilazapril 2.5MG combined with Reutenox 20MG taken daily be causing this reaction. I have only noticed this in the past year after taking Cilazapril. I am 68 years old and feel fit and energetic. How could I prevent this blistering?

Hi,
iT IS Suggestive of cilazapril induced allergic reactions. Based on the history you seem to be suffering from allergic reactions apparently caused by cilazapril. I advise you to take an effective alternative but a safer medicine to control your high blood pressure like valsartan or amlodipine.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
