What Causes Itching All Over The Body While On Sensipar?

I am taking sensipar 30mg cut in half for a month. Yesterday and today I am itchy all over my body. My throats does feel a little scratchy but nothing terrible. It is the itching that bothers me. I did take Benadryl (2) tablets. Earlier today and just now.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
This is due to allergy to Sensipar. Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign body. Foreign body may medicine like Sensipar, pollen, animal dander, dust and insect venom etc. Severity of allergy may range from rash to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
You have not written why you are taking Sensipar. If you would have written here, I could have suggested an alternative. You can write it later.
Advice
1.     Stop Sensipar and do not take it in future
2.     Levocetirizine5 mg – 1 tablet once daily orally for 7 days
3.     Dexamethasone 0.5 mg – 1 tablet twice daily orally for 7 days
4.     Do not scratch too much as it will caused skin damage and infection
5.     Calamine lotion – three times daily locally – will provide soothing effect
6.     Immediately go to hospital if you have any sign of anaphylaxis such as breathing difficulty, low blood pressure, nausea/vomiting, throat constriction, unconsciousness etc
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
