Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Has anyone had a problem with a skin rash with Arava? A friend told me that Arava causes a rash also. Yikes..... a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 a- Everything can cause a rash, but dont give yourself a case of hives first. Just take the arava and see how it goes. Dont expect a side effect, but report one if you experience it. Arava has a laxative effect on me, which all in all can cause weight loss, and is a great detoxifier.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Arava is hard on the intestines. It had a very strong laxative effect on me, and can cause you to lose weight which for most people is a good thing? It is a great detoxifier. Dont expect symptoms to come, because everyone is different. Just be aware of your body, and if you feel something out of the ordinary, report it to your RD. You can deal with it together. No use in giving yourself a bad case of hives by worrying. Also when taking Arava or any medication, unless otherwise indicated, drink plenty of fluids. Yours, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
