I have been on 0.625mg. of Ogen for years. I have been seeing a dermatologist for 1 1/2 years for eczema. I have daily spells of itching different parts of my body. I am on prescription medicine for eczema but still have itching.
My feet swell daily, sometimes more one day than the next day. I take 25mg. of Diazide daily for swelling but still have some swelling.
In the last couple of weeks, I developed a bright red area near one of my ankles which didn't itch or wasn't raised that lasted several days.
I'll be seeing my gyn next month & plan to discuss this with him.
I appreciate any comments.

Hi, yes this medication does cause eczema (which is a condition that causes areas of your skin to become itchy, red, painful and swollen).
Eczema is a serious side effect that you must report to your Dermatologist ASAP.
You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
I hope you get well soon... from a caring individual
