Is the long-term use of the drug Zirid can cause a rash ?
Hello! Could the rash and itchy bumps on the neck have been caused by taking Zirid for a long time? I apply maxicortan ointment but the problem recurs, I thought that maybe the lack of vitamin A has something to do with it. Please advise greetings

The manufacturer of Zirid lists skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders as rare among the side effects in patients taking this medicine. Among them, he gives itching, erythema, rash.
If, despite using a steroid ointment, the problem recurs, I would advise you to see your doctor. You may need to change your dose or switch to a different medication.
Please do not make the decision to stop taking the medication on your own.
Until you see a doctor, keep an eye out for the rash. If you think that it is actually a consequence of taking a drug and not, for example, a food allergy, I encourage you to report it as an adverse reaction.
If you are unable to contact your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

We wrote more about how and why it is worth reporting side effects in the article:

At the same time, I would like to remind you that the use of Maxicortan ointment should be done as short as possible, up to a maximum of 7 days on small areas of the skin.
