    I agree that you could be having an allergic reaction to this medication. Possible a light case of hives.

    Since this is a med for high blood pressure, it could also be opening up your vessels, which have been know to make some people itch. Kind of like Niacin does.

    i'm pregnant immediately too. I itch in each single position. that's fantastically established. :) I rather itch on my tummy. that's purely because you're gaining weight throughout your body (not purely your tummy) so all of your epidermis is stretching. try putting lotion (extremely thick, good things) on like two times an afternoon, and that can help you. once you're nevertheless itching in each single position, your epidermis should be extra comfortable (that occurs each of the time even as pregnant) and it will be that you're reacting on your laundry detergent or body spray (no matter if you often have not reacted to that in the previous.) once you're nevertheless itching after coating on the lotion, try replacing to a body spray loose/dye loose laundry cleansing soap and word if that permits. in case you nevertheless do not get any extra valuable - see a well being care service. :)

    Anytime you itch after taking a medication you should tell your doctor it could be an allergic or adverse reaction.

    Itching is an indication of adverse reaction. Do not take it again before seeing your doctor, the drug could induce anaphylactic shock.

    you could have an allergy. i would talk to your doctor and see if you are in fact sensitive to this medication, so if you are, you can switch to something else.
