I am taking the following medications.
Quinidex,Mexitil, Vasotec, Demedex, Lanoxin, Imdur, Lipitor, Prevacid, Ambien, Vitamins and a potassium supplement.
I have developed itching and eruptions (patchy) between my knees and ankles on both legs. I have showed them to my doctor and he says " Oh, Dont worry about it." I wonder whether some of the meds I'm taking could be the cause or do folks with heart failure have circulation problems that could cause these symptoms.
These patches seem to come and go and I relieve the inching with cortisone cream but this is a very uncomfortable situation. Sometimes the itch can get just maddening.
Any suggestions??
