Hi, I have a rash on my tummy and not sure where its come from. I started sarilumab in November 2021 and never had any rashes before this. These are pictures of it. Not sure if I should contact anyone or not?

    Hello @natbat87 I would suggest that you need to get in touch with your GP or alternatively if you can get to a chemist see your pharmacist for medical advice. These are the only ones who could give you proper advice

    Hope it gets sorted

    Hi@Dean

    Thanks for your enquiry. We'd not be able to confirm if your rash is connected with your medication. Do contact your rheumatology nurse specialist.

    If you are unsure, you might discuss your concerns with a pharmacist or 111 and they can help you decide on next steps perhaps.

    all the best
