Can Premarin Cause Itching As A Side Effect?
I am a 35 yo female and just had a full hysterectomy (10/28/16), and was given premarin, pill form, for a hormone replacement. I have been experiencing itching of my hands and nose and sides of my abdomen, and I m not sure if it is a side effect of the medication or if it is having a reaction to the other medications i take. Can you please help?

Hi,
Though not a common side effect, but itching and rash have been reported with Premarin. So this is quite possible that this may be the side effects of your drugs.
However, it may be more commonly caused by other drugs. You did not mention which other drugs you are taking. Howe'ver it would be temporal relation that may tell us that is if itching started few days after the drug then it may be for this drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
