Kapidex And Rash (Top voted first)

Updated

I have broken out in a rash around my neck, shoulders, arms and legs really bad. Didn't know what was the cause. Went to dr. he said it looked like a inward reaction and nothing topical. Well, I had started taking Dexilant (Kapidex) just about the time I broke out. My question is ....those of you who have experienced this? How long did the rash last after you stopped taken it?

I've noticed itchiness too...it was at it's worst the first day after I stopped taking Dexilant 60 mg, but it's calmed down a bit. I say only a bit because it's been five days and I still itch! The weird thing is that I tend to itch more after a shower, especially my scalp.

I've made no changes in the soap or shampoo I've been using and never itched before, so I have no idea what it is. I also notice my skin is redder (not necessarily hives, but reddish in spots) after I get out of a shower, and my eyes feel dry...any one else have the same symptoms? How long, after quitting Dexilant, did these symptoms take to go away?

So glad to know I am not alone. I started Delixant/Kapidex 3 weeks ago.After about a week I had a rash on my hands and arms. I continued taking the medicine because I was not fully convinced it was the culprit. After another week my itchy red rash had spread from arms to the rest of my body. I called the doctor and they said to come so they could rule at eczema. Byt the time I call in to see the doctor I was so dizzy and itchy. They said it looked like a reaction and to stop imediately. I stopped taking it and it has been about a week and I still itching and covered in a red rash, but the dizziness is gone. OH, It itches like Crazy!!! I hope this ends soon

Its non stop itching and even after taking 2 benadryl on Saturday it did NOT help. Its Monday now and I wonder how long this will last. Stupid Japanese Company. I hope they get sued

Rashes can be a very discomforting skin problem. Some of the home remedies can be very useful to reduce major symptoms. Like these: Aloe Vera, Oatmeal Bath, Olive Oil and more. You can read about more details here: ihomeremedy.net/home-remedies-for-rashes

My ENT suspected I have GERD and put me on Dexilant. After a month, he added Zantac and after another month he added Prilosec. After taking 3 kinds of meds, still I have dry cough and chronic throats clearing. Also, before I started Prilosec I developed itchy rashes and it has now spread all over the body. Not sure if Dexilant is causing this?
