Yeah that sounds like an allergic reaction, I'd consult with a physician or ER if it gets worse.

That is often a sign of an allergic reaction to a medication. I wouldn't take anymore until you talk with a pharmacist and/or doctor. We can't know if the next dosage could be life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Not to mention that gab seldom truly helps, it's normally given for non-approved conditions and causes many serious side effects for people.
The drug info should warn about watching for a reaction like you're mentioning. BTW, an online support group is NOT the place to ask this, you need a doctor or pharmacist. As you can see, it's taken many hours to get an answer to your question.

took a 2nd dose, and leg itched a little but no development and i got real tired , i have Ketoconazole Shampoo which destroys any red food allergy immediately so i am not scared of a itchy rash, yea the rash instantly went away after I put it on in shower(amazing), my pain is a lot of worse! I have asked pharmacists, they don't nearly care or just say one sentence answer. and how can I ask a doctor right away, I have to make an appointment? My GP already said I should take it for one week, if it doesn't work, just stop.
I had a super bad itchy rash all over my face one time(looks like hives or mosquito bites) and it spreading to my chest and I used Ketoconazole Shampoo, and it all went away immediately, this is very confusing to be honest.
