A member asked:

Been on toprol (metoprolol) xl for 8 months now & i broke out in rash 2 month ago. doc says its contact dermatitis but it keeps coming back. could it be from med?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drug: If drug allergy, unlikely the rash wouldn't be constant and generalized. If it is, then drug reaction probability rises.
