Post by kristinjo on Jul 23^rd, 2006, 1:31pm

Hi!
Started on V about 2 weeks ago really helps keep ch away,but now I am breaking out with a rash and thats starting to get worse and itch like heck! Anybody else have that problem? The only other stuff Ihave taken has been RB starting 3 days ago to try to lift my shadow. Thanks, Buck

During clinical trials a rash appeared in 1.2% of people using it.

Report the reaction to your doc.

Thanks Bob
I caled my Doc. he said keep taking it if it is working and take benadryl for the rash & itch. I hate to stop taking it because its keeping the ch at bay.

Never heard of verap causing a rash.

I'd stay on the verap and fight off the rash.

Thats the plan I would rather itch than have a bad ch
