Drug rash from Gabapentin/Dihydrocodeine? Anyone else?

In the past month I’ve noticed a drug rash from Gabapentin and/or Dihydrocodeine.

It’s on my face and neck and chest. It’s not itchy but is hot and comes on after my last dose at bedtime.

It’s not anaphylaxis (I’m a retired Paramedic) but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this?

Thank you!

Both can but it is more likely the Dihydrocodeine. Try taking each at a different time of day to see which is the one

Good idea. I’m now starting to think that it comes on later and I take one D last thing with the last G. So yes it’s probably it that. I’ll pay more attention to that now and separate them. Thanks again!
