Go here for side effects. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/hctztri_ad.htm

Rash is listed as one. You may want to check back with the n.p. or a doc,

but it doesn't sound like you have to worry about a fatal bug bite.

I was wondering if anyone takes the medication, Dyazide? I take it to lower my

blood pressure and also it is a water pill... Since I have been taking it I

developed a rash about 6 weeks ago on my lower legs about 8 inches up from my

ankles. A friend of mine said it was probably caused from the sun as you cannot

stay out in the sun for very long while being on Dyazide. ..Since then about 4

weeks ago, I have rarely ventured outside and the rash had spread up to my knees

and on my lower arms, from the elbow down to the hand.. I called the doctors and

the nurse passed on the message from my doctor to buy some Aveena bath salts and

bathe in the stuff. Well after doing that and also using the Aveena soap and

body cream the rash has continued to spread to my thighs and is blotchy looking

and under the skin. I also have what I thought was mosquito bites. The inside

of my left thigh..I noticed about five weeks ago has what looks to be bites. It

looks like 5 raised red bumps forming almost a circle.. I called the doctor up

again last Thursday and was told to come out to the clinic, but to wait outside

in the parking lot and someone would come out to meet me.. This was just incase

I had something contagious.. I went out to the clinic parking lot and the nurse

practitioner took me into a back room and inspected my rash and the bite bumps..

She had no idea what the rash is but the bites she said looked like something

bacterial so she wrote a script for Antibiotics. 4 pills a day and for me to go

back to see her next Monday... So far I have not seen any improvement. My

thighs never see the sunlight so I don't think it is from the sunshine.. I just

hope I was not bitten by a spider and it be poison spreading in my arms and

legs... I once read years ago some woman while cleaning out the garage was

bitten by a spider and she after two weeks went into a coma. A couple of months

later, she regained consciousness, her legs and arms had been amputated..I told

my husband that if ( God forbid ) I do go into a coma and it is a spider bite,

not to amputate anything I would rather be dead...

Sorry this is so long winded but does anyone have any idea what the rash could

be from?

Jo, I am adding my 2 cents worth here in case it might help someone, I cannot

take iupf., due to the 2 beta blockers I am on, also can not take any kind of

sinus meds OTC kind due to b/p.

I guess it just effects uss all in different ways.

wendy

also check and see if you started using new laundry soap, dryer sheets

etc. sometimes even dyes in new fabrics can cause allergic reactions.

take care.

Hi ,

I had taken Dyazide in the past, without any problems. However, I have

taken some other meds that caused rashes soon after starting them. The

rheumatologist told me that a rash like that is a sign of a reaction to the

drug and stopped the ones that have caused it. In all, I've had that happen

three times, all with NSAIDS.
