What Causes Itching All Over The Body?

default
Posted on Fri, 13 Jun 2014
Question: I itch over my entire body. It's a rash, but not red. After investigating, I find that I do have symptoms of
side effects associated with Uloric, which I have taken for over a year. At one point I took allopurinol for
about 10 days and broke out suddenly with a red rash all over my body that itched. What could I do to
help? I tried Vagisil, Gold Bong, Cortisone creams.

Brief Answer:
get LFT & consult physician

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Uloric is a new generation urate decreasing drug.
It can cause itching by itself or may cause it by affecting the liver function.
You should discontinue the drug and get an LFT and review to a physician as soon as possible and get treatment in local physician supervision.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
