Nitrofur And Levothyroxine Side Effects

Hi,
I've taken Nitrofur-Macr 100mg and did ok with it. I recently had to start taking Levothyroxine 50mg for a thyroid condition. And now when I take Nitrofur-Macr I break out all over my neck, ears, back & arms in a horrible rash that burns almost. Is this a normal side effect? Or is it because of the combination of the two medications? I've never had a reaction like this to any medication.

Hi, Susan! Sorry about the rash that you're getting.

It sounds like you may have started experiencing an allergic reaction and, if that is the case, they tend to continue getting more severe if the medication isn't stopped.

It can happen unexpectedly, even if you've been taking something for awhile and not had any prior problems.

Have you consulted your doctor about it?
