Itching?

[Madlegs1]

I'm on Amlodipine 5mg and Olmersatin 10mg.

Recently I've been experiencing annoying itching.

Not intense, but enough to prevent me from getting to sleep, and waking me up.

I think it is the Olmersatin, because ,when I don't take it , I don't get the itching.

Anyone had this experience, and how did you deal with it ?

Thanks.

Hi madlegs.... I think we knew each other years ago on this forum. I take blood pressure pills but it's ramapril and Apixaban ,similar isn't it I take that too since my open heart operation nearly 3 years ago now. I have for years suffered from dermatitis both contact and from the Sun. But right now I'm scratching my arms and my neck and my hands all night too. It's hard to know what to attribute it to but I know it's awful and you have my sympathy. I feel like rubbish particularly since the RLS is flaring up as well. Recently my ramapril was increased by 2.5 I just didn't think that could have any effect but it is around the same time that this itching has got bad. Then again it has been Sunny sometimes but I put on whatever protection I have and hats Etc as I'm quite allergic to some creams as well. If you find out what's causing yours let me know I will do the same
