Possible allergy.: Please contact the doctor that prescribed this for you. You may be having an allergic reaction. If you have shortness of breath, sores in your mouth, peeling skin, lip, tongue, or throat swelling, go to an ER now.

Report rash to MD.: It’s important to speak to your doctor’s office before taking another dose. Don’t wait; talk to either your doctor or whoever’s filling in; if it’s off-hours, page. Different kinds of rashes can occur with this drug and can range from mild to quite serious. Be prepared to describe the rash in more detail, whether you’ve had flu-like symptoms, fever, etc. Early intervention and guidance are key.
