Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I passed carefully through your concern and would like to explain that probably one of your current medications may be the cause of an allergic reaction expressed with body rashes.

Any one of those drugs could be the reason of of an adverse reaction (including allergy), so an exclusion differentiation should be done (by excluding each one at a time) and see the difference.

Now let me explain that Losartan and Amlodipine are antihypertensive drugs; as far as you are hypertensive you need those drugs to maintain controlled blood pressure values.

Warfarin and Clopidogrel are used together in patients with cardiovascular events (like heart attack, cerebral insult or in those at risk for such complications), especially in the presence of atrial fibrillation.

While Fluvastatin is a lipid lowering drug, but it is not recommended to be used concomitantly with grapefruit as this latter may suppress degradation and hence cause high Fluvastatin concentrations in your body with adverse consequences. This holds true especially if you use large amounts of grapefruit.

I would advise to stop using Fluvastatin and grapefruit together.

Regarding cholesterol pills, they seem to be a rational alternative in lowering your body cholesterol production. When taken daily exogenous cholesterol will suppress the endogenous cholesterol production and will maintain that way a lower lipid blood profile. Furthermore, natural cholesterol is not associated with adverse effects like Fluvastatin and other statins.

You should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of investigating the cause of your skin rashes by excluding your drugs one by one each at a time and see the difference.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
