Hi Guys.
After being on Perindopril for 2 years. In June it caused my lips and left cheek to swell up. Lozartum Potassium did the same thing.

Now. I also discovered today that Chilli Seeds are in there too. First time ever I take Anti histamines. I knew I had slight reaction to nuts.
Well I made a list so in case I forget...
Nuts. Sesame Seeds Chilli seeds.
Is my tolerance changing over the years...hmmn
 
There are nuts in medicinces? Cripes, if they ever start putting pistachios in there I'll be doomed. 😱
 
Hi, What I meant was that I have already had a slight allergy to nuts, resulting in coughing for a wee bit. However, I have discovered chilli seeds have the same effect on me.

In terms of allergic reactions (lips and cheek swelling) - that was caused by Perindopril and Lozartum Potassium respectively - they are Hypertension drugs. For them I had to uuse Cetirizine (Anti- histamine to get the swelling down).
Thank God I am no longer on those meds...Onwards and Upwards
