Hi,
Aldonil and all antihypertensive and diabetic drugs can cause allergy , but i really dont know whether you have allergy or not cause there are many reasons for allergy.
Since when are you takin those drugs ?
Since how many days the allergic rash come to you ?
How does the rash look like ?, please describe in detail about the involvement of rash over which part of body and if possible kindly attach a photo.
The drugs will have to be changed one by one under closed supervision so as to see which drug is causing you allergy and that paticular will be stopped and relaced with another drug otherwise it is diificult to name any one drug.
For your second query the circulation is not the problem in GB syndrome so there is no question of improving the circulation , otherwise it is difficult to say how much time it might take for improvement without seeing you.
Yes the above drugs can be used as supportive treatment in GB SYNDROME.
Patient asked followup Question: 11 years ago
I am using the medicines viz. aldonil etc for gb syndrome from 5th Aug.13 and for bp and diabetis from more than 11 months..but i have shifted to generic and used pregabal (m) of helios pharma and gabalyn(leeford healthcare) and since then the rashes have come on my right fore arm and from the thighs of both the legs with lot of itching and redness now it was subsided by using medicines for allergy. pl let me know whether gbs has reduced the blood circulation to the lower limbs and what is to be done for the improvement?Is the medicines are enough?

Hi,
If this is so then you are giving very clear history that it is when you used these two drugs when all this happened,who prescibed you with these two drugs cause the two drugs are the same.
Now since the itching is resolved it will be advisable to get your medicines changed or if you were not having allergy with the company product then you can also use that to.
No the pathology in GB syndrome is very complex and it is not that it affects only blood circulation.
There are many more treatment options avlaible for GB syndrome(like plasmapheresis and iv immunoglobulin) but you will have to discuss that with your doctor.
