Re: Another update on triciaK
I just happened to remember something that happened to me several years ago.
I developed a terrible rash with some itching around my mouth, nose and on my cheeks. I went to several doctors and had allergy testing. No one could figure out what was wrong with me or what was causing the problem.
I decided to talk to my local pharmacist. She checked all the medicines I was taking for problems, ingredients and interactions and discovered the powder used as a filler or binder in my generic blood pressure medicine could cause a rash. The next day I took the medicine to my naturopath who has different kind of allergy testing than the allergist has. We discovered the pharmacist was 100% correct !!!!!!!! The day after that I called the insurance company. They sent a form for my doctor to fill out requesting the brand name of the medicine. He did that. The insurance company approved the request and I now use the brand name with no problems.
If it can happen to me it can happen to other people too. Maybe you would like to talk to a pharmacist about the itchy rash.
