Does Effient Cause Dry And Flaky Skin?
I am on effient 10 mg daily for 2 and half years. I also take other BP medicine Micardis 80/12.5 mg daily, Crestor 5 mg daily, and Enbrel 50 mg shot for my RA once a week. Recently I am experiencing very dry skin, light reddish patches, flaky with powdery skin. Can effient cause this or a combination of the above drugs can cause the dry skin?

Hello,
None of the medications you are currently taking can be related to skin rash and dryness you are having. I think you may need to get tested for diabetes because it can cause it. Use moisturizing cream to help with dry skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
