Brief Answer:
Trazodone and carvedelol

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Both Trazodone and Carvedelol can cause itching and skin rash. It it not due to interaction but due to side effect of both getting added up.

If itching is mild then you can take a dose of Benadryl for three days one in the night after food.

If the itching is too severe then you may have to get the medication revised and get substitutes for the same.

Wish you good health.
