Treatment Options For A Maculopapular Rash

Stop Medication Causing The Reaction

If a doctor determines the use of a particular medication causes a patient's maculopapular rash, they will have the patient stop the medication causing the reaction. Patients may have that particular medication noted in their list of allergies, and a substitute medication will be prescribed to replace its function. Generally, a rash that occurs as the result of an allergic reaction to medication will appear four to twelve days after taking the medicine. When patients are adjusting to a new medication, they should be particularly vigilant in the first seven to eight days of treatment, as most allergic reactions appear during this period. Along with the rash, patients with allergic reactions may also have a fever and muscle pain. The rash will usually fade after one to two weeks.
