Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history.
Satrogyl 300 is used for treating some worm infestations. Although some worms can cause itching and urticaria, there are other causes also.
So first I would suggest your wife to take montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 3-5 days depending upon response. However, if she has severe swelling, swelling inside throat, feeling of suffocation, or other trouble symptoms, she may require a short course of corticosteroids.
Regarding Satrogyl, it will work only if her symptoms are due to worms, not if they are due to any other cause.
Hope this will be helpful to you and solves your query.
Wish your wife a quick recovery and the best of the health.
Should you have any further query, please fell free to ask at HCM.
Regards.
