Could Baclofen, Simvastatin, Tegretol And Meloxicam Intake Cause Itching On The Scalp?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The drugs you have mentioned doesn’t generally cause scalp itching. It could be something else like fungal infection or dandruff. Is there any visible crust or lesions in the scalp? As of now you can try ketoconazole shampoo and wait for symptomatic relief. If no improvement felt, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
