What Causes Severe Dryness And Burning Sensation Of Face Post Intake Of Dilacor XR?

I recently started on Dilacor xr. 120 mg AND I moved to GA from CA in Sept. Don t know if there is anything to do with my symptom. I am having extreme dryness of my face and anything I use on my face burns. I have been on Dilacor for about 3 weeks. And it seems as if it has come on since I started taking it. Is this a side effect? It says flushing is a side effect.

Yes you are right Dilacor XR can induce flushing due to its vasodilator effect. However dryness is not that commonly seen.You must avoid sun exposure as much as possible. For dryness of your face you can try using aloe Vera cream .Regards.
