I have been on odimune for three months now. I have developed rash on my arms, should i be worried or what can I use to treat it?
Answer
I’m sorry but I can’t diagnose the cause of this rash online. It’s important to contact your clinic for advice as although most rashes are mild, sometimes they can be very serious. Your clinic need to talk to you about this rash in case you need to show it to your doctor or nurse to decide how serious it is and to decide whether you need to change treatment.
Odimune contains 3 drugs (efavrienz+ FTC+ tenofovir). Rashes have been linked to both efavirenz and FTC. You can read more about rashes in our side effects guide.
Odimune is a generic version of Atripla.
