      Hi Sharmon,

      They changed my husband's doseage last month.  They changed it from 2.5 to 2.0.  There was no hesitation in taking the drug.  One day 2.5, the next 2.0.  He had no side efffects from doing this.  I do believe that the rash is a little less, but still there.  However, they told us that the first cyle of the rash was the worst and would not be quite as bad after that.  Has  he tried a medicated baby shampoo?  Has he tried a skin moisturizer?  My husband also has a cream and antibiotic.  Does he notice a difference when he gets warm?  You can email me directly at [email protected]..
