Can Asomex,repace And Metformin Cause Allergic Reaction And Itching All Over?
I am suffering from allergic rashes usually early morning or after I have hot bath. It starts from one site itching then follows around areas, burning sensation after a while. It looks like my limb is swollen, usually upper part of body gets rashes. This has been with me for last 2 weeks. I am taking antihypertensive asomex 2.5mg (amlodepin), repace (losartan) 5omg & metformin 500mg twice daily for last 2 years. Please suggest. Thank you U.S

Hi,
Asomex 2.5 mg contains amlodipine which belongs to the group of ani hypertensive medications known as calcium channel blockers is used to treat high blood pressure. By controlling high blood pressure, it will prevent the future heart diseases, heart attacks and strokes. Side effects of Asomex 2.5 mg are oedema, ankle edema, somnolence, headache, dizziness, flushing, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, pruritus, vomiting, rashes, cough, muscle cramps, diarrhea or constipation, weakness, symptoms of allergic reactions like rash, itching, swelling of lips, tongue or throat, breathing difficulties etc. Among these side effects edema and ankle edema are common.
Repace 50 mg contains losartan potassium which belongs to the group of antihypertensive medications known as angiotensin receptor blockers is used to treat high blood pressure like Asomex. It can also cause symptoms of allergic reactions like Asomex. Metformin 500 mg belongs to the group of antidiabetic medications known as biguanide is used to control high blood glucose levels in patients with with diabetes mellitus. It can cause symptoms of allergic reactions like Asomex and Repace too. If such type of side effects from any of the medications persist for long or bother you, then you should consult your doctor for medical help.
