Hi Allen, sorry you are experiencing the rash. Yes, rash is a common side effect from Erleada. You may be experiencing a delayed allergic reaction. Please contact your health care provider right away.

My partner has had significant chest rash (been on Erleada since June) but it has been controlled with cortisone cream and he's had no serious allergic symptoms; however, an acquaintance has just been pulled off it and given antibiotics due to a severe allergic reaction - Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. I'd be calling your doc or centre's triage line asap. You could also call the pharmacy (we're in Ontario and get ours from bio script - they respond quickly). Good luck!
