Is It Safe To Use Dexilant For Itchiness All Over Body?

Hi, I am taking Dexilant 60mg and I have very itchy skin on my arms legs face sometimes on my back and abdomen. I also have very dry skin at this time. I took dexilant for 5weeks right after my Panendosocpy and did not notice any itching. After the Dexilant I had to switch to pantoprazole, due to insurance. I had extreme itching with the pantoprazole.omaprazole and lansoprazole, so I started the dexilant again, and notice some itching with this. Not sure if it would be the medicine or just my nerves. dry skin or combination.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for itchiness all over body. After reading the compete query with diligence let me reassure you that your itching is not related any of the medicines you have mentioned. It is just your own idea or anxiety that you are correlating the drugs with itching.

I suggest you to search out any areas of redness or bumps for the exact correlation of itching over body.

For itching you can take an antihistamine tablet like loratadine accordingly.

take care.
