Medication and itching

Farmaci-e-prurito

Itching caused by taking medication can be intense and persistent as long as the person continues to take the medication responsible for it.
It is advisable, if itching occurs after taking the medication, to alert the treating physician of the problem for a change in the treatment plan.

Medications that may give rise to itching include
:

  • antibiotics;
  • contraceptives;
  • sedative drugs;
  • Some transdermal patches.

Relief from the itching will come from stopping taking the medication, and possibly taking an antihistamine.
