i am on colestipol hydrochloride for nearly two years i have had no blood tests for cholesterol or triglyceride and my skin is severely itchy but only on my vagina and on right leg of my shin it has been itching for as long as i have been on the medicine and i am finding the itching unbearable .Also i have noticed i get very achy bones as well. i have read information and learned that i may need to have vitamin a d and k what do i need to do.
Hi,
Thanks ofr query,
This medicines are prescribed for high cholesterol in blood.
If you have not gone for blood cholesterol level in blood how one can prescribe this medicine ?
It seem that severe itching is due to this medicine.
Consult your prescribing doctor and seek advice.
ok and bye.
