What Causes Itching In The Arms And Neck After Taking Fluconazole?

I was prescribed fluconazole after I got a yeast infection from an antibiotic. I was told to take 1 pip and if I didn t get better a couple of days later take the other. I took the second pill the day after the first because I wasn t better. I also had an itchy head, itchy arms, neck, everywhere, plus bad acid reflux. That was last week I am still having outbreaks of red itchy skin and acid reflux, now headache. I feel like something is going on but I don t know what.

Hello,

Itching after taking fluconazole may be due to drug allergy. You can use alternate drugs like Itraconazole or Ketoconazole or Griseofulvin or Terbinafine etc.

Use tablet Levocetrizine twice a day for five days. Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
