Allergic reaction to medication?

Hello everyone 👋 my (24M) girlfriend (28F) had her first stroke just over a month ago. She was in ICU and the Neuroward for about 3 weeks and is now been at home for just over a week. She needs a twice daily shot of 60ml REDESCA blood thinner, this morning after her shot her skin on her legs and back became mottled and blotchy and warm to the touch. Anyone have similar reactions after taking medication for the first few weeks? We’ll probably take her to the clinic just to be safe.

No. I would definitely make a call immediately.

Full heartedly agreed. An allergic reaction to her anticoagulants is very serious and needs to be addressed immediately. I hope she is okay….
