riba rash vs telapravir rash

[cpclinic]

Hey guys,
On week 11 of vertex  phase 3 trial. Not sure if I have the placebo or not but I have a rash all over my body. Little red pin heads all over and some large red areas. Any input.

Thanks guys

I am in week 9 of the same trial and am starting with those little red dots.  So far only a few.  The study doc told me that the telaprevir rash usually starts off more dramatic than the 4 itchy ones I have.  I used a prescription cortisone creme on them That worked well.  But now there are bumps on my back and I can't see them-but they feel the same. I will definately be making a call as well :-)

A little benedryl takes the edge off the itching.  Lotion will help as well.

Bottom line-you really want to stay on top it.  Please let us know what the doc says.

So, while I am sorry you have the rash, I hope it is an indication that you are getting the telaprevir.  

Best of luck

Look at Mremeet...he had a bad rash. He did get telaprevir and is now SVR.

Search the archives and you will find many reports of rashes.

The only important thing you need to know is to get on top of it ASAP.  Go to your doc today and get it treated.
