How To Treat Severe Itching Caused By Amiodarone?

I am experiencing a severe itching rash as a side effect of amiodorone for Afib. Discontinued 5 weeks ago. Rash moves constantly. It s really uncomfortable. Can you suggest anything for relief? Would Finecea help? Can t get in to see my dermatologist for a month. Thank you, Jaime

dear patient, i advice not to use fenecea as it will increase your itching rash.
instead i recommend using levocetrizine 5 mg tablet once daily.
it will effectively control your itching.
