What Causes Skin Rash On Torso While On Plavix And Lipitor?

My mom had a mini stroke four weeks ago. She has been on plavix and Lipitor since the stroke happened. In addition to these two drugs, she also is and had been on liciniprel. Today she has broken out in a rash on her front and back torso and some on her arms. It is very itchy. Is any of the meds that she is taking, causing the rash? Is it possible that she is having an allergic reaction to one of these drugs?

Hi,

Plavix and Lipitor are unusual causes of drug rash. Lisinopril is commonly associated with drug rash. According to me, you are having a drug induced hypersensitivity to Lisinopril. Please do consult your Doctor. He would find the culprit drug and will provide an alternate drug instead of culprit drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
