I have been taking Januvia for about 7 months now. Had to get off Avandia (another story). My levels are better and have lost weight. But, recently started getting a facial rash on both sides of the nose and have noticed some trouble swallowing at night when I lay down.

BEEN ON OMEPRAZOLE FOR A FEW YEARS,BUT RECENTLY GOT DIAGNOSED WITH H-PYLORI STOMACH BUG,THIS BUG CAUSES ULSERS AND GIVES YOU SEVERE HEARTBURN.I WISH MY DOCTOR HAD THE BRAINS TO CHECK ME FOR IT WHEN I FIRST WENT TO HIM FOR HELP WITH MY HEARTBURN. HOWEVER I HAVE JUST FINISHED A COURSE OF ANTI-BIOTICS AND HAVE STOPPED TAKING OMEPRAZOLE.MY STOMACH IS NOT AS BLOATED AND MY SEVERE FACIAL RASH IS CLEARING UP.I THOUGHT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE STOMACH BUG THAT WAS CAUSING THESE SYMPTOMS,BUT 7 DAYS AGO I STARTED TAKING OMEPRAZOLE AGAIN AS MY HEARTBURN WAS BACK.SUDDENLY MY FACE ERUPTED AND I WAS BLOATED AGAIN.I STOPPED THEM AGAIN AND ALREADY IM GETTING BETTER. MY HEARTBURN IS STILL TRYING TO GET ME BUT IM TAKING REMEGEL SWEETS THAT ARE SOLD IN MY LOCAL NEWSAGENTS AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FOR ME.I HAVE READ ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS LISTED HERE AND I AM SHOCKED THESE TABLETS ARE STILL ON THE GO. I BELIEVE OUR STOMACH ACID SHOULD NOT BE MESSED WITH AS THIS GETS OUR FOOD OUT OUR SYSTEMS QUICK ENOUGH TO SAVE BAD TOXINS ESPECIALLY RED MEAT POSIONING OUR BLOOD.

I got serum sickness from Clindamycin. I had enormous hives everywhere, along with angioedema, fever, joint pain, and intense itching/burning. I had to take Prednisone for 10 days and, just to add insult to injury, later developed both thrush and a yeast infection.

After only 4 days of Prednisone treatment for a painful facial rash that could not not be diagnosed by the doctor I feel like two of the dwarfs .... Grumpy and Jumpy. If I had an oozie I would kill the universe and I am a pacifist! The slightest motion in the house sets me off. My cat, who I love dearly gets on my nerves when he sits on my lap and purrs. I know about the predicted weight gain, so I just am not eating, but am taking medicine to make me sleep as much as possible. The rash is clearing but it is still painful. Today is my last day of the treatment. How long will the side effects last? I am trying to just be silent because no one in my household deserves to be jumped on by a crazy woman.

Lupus-type facial rash occurs after taking omeprazole. Itching and throbbing headache. I think I want my Prevacid back!

I used Cystex for the symptoms of a UTI, within two hours I had a horrible raised facial rash that was burning horribly and spreading rapidly. A quick trip to the ER, some prescription strength steroids and antihistamines quickly reversed the side effects. One day later I still have a residual dry itchy rash that is significantly smaller than before the ER, but hopefully with the continued medications I received I will be 100% better soon. By the way I did have a UTI and was prescribed something for that too, so it was not a totally wasted trip, just a bit more dramatic than usual. I have been advised to avoid Cystex or any product that has any of the same ingredients from now on. The next allergic reaction might be more severe.
