hello friend, you can have an itching skin reaction to either medication or its preservatives better in the ingredients. I would recommend stopping one at a time and seeing after 10 days if your itching goes away. Probably your allergic to one of the new medications. This does not mean it is a life-threatening emergency. He may consider going back to your doctor and getting a different prescription for your ailments that do not have the same allergic reaction. Have a great day.

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic forum!
Side effects of Coq include headache, nausea, vomiting, upper chest or throat discomfort, stomach upset or indigestion, diarrhea, heartburn and loss of appetite. Itching or skin rash, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, irritability and increased light sensitivity of the eyes may also occur.
CoQ(Coenzyme Q10) is a substance naturally produced by the human body that facilitates the production of energy in your cells, its just a supplement so may not cause much side effects unless you are senstitive to it.
However please do follow what your doc has advised you to do.
Good Luck
