Actigall/ursodiol--rash
by debsus, Dec 26, 2004 12:00AM
just diagnosed with NASH (liver biopsy) my
ALT/AST enzymes were brought to normal with actigall/ursodiol. I developed a rash -- small red bumps with blister at tip -- mostly on lower legs but they do appear all over and itch horribly. My internist said to stop the medication -- she and dermatologist think the rash maybe a reaction to either the medication or the liver disease. Two months later the rash is much better (and cortisone shots into the eruptions) but I still get some eruptions -- have been told that it can take a long time to clear the skin if it is a drug reaction.
Anyone have such a reaction? If so -- what did you do?
I fear what my enzyme results will be when I retest in a couple of months.
