I got a severe rash to a different medication than the combo that you are on, songbird. I swelled up so severely and had to get a steroid shot within 10 hrs of the ingested dose; as soon as I got the steroid shot the swelling subsided~ be aware that after you get a steroid shot you may be more emotional and sensitive than usual.
How many hours after taking it did you get the rash? If it happens within less than 2 hrs after a new medication, you can suspect the new medication of causing the rash. That's why you should just take ONE NEW medication at a time.
If your breathing gets more difficult and if you swell up you may need to take some Benadryl, Atarax and may need Emergency attention and a steroid shot.
Whatever you do, don't take a SECOND dose of the medication you suspect of causing the rash!
