Can Teczine Be Taken For Itching On Body?

Is it safe to take teczine for itching sensation in various parts of body? Hi, I started having a slight itching in one part of my palm. After a few days, the area in my sole[leg] between the fingers started itching. I consulted a doctor who suggested me to take teczine for 10 days. I took the course and had no symptoms for 10 days. But 2 days after starting treatment, I again had the same problem with my scalp, abdomen and other parts of the body itching. I sometimes get a round rash and at other times just a red itchy skin. I went back to the doctor who asked me to take teczine for 45 days at a two day interval. I am in the middle of this course but I was travelling and was not able to take the tablet for a couple of days when the itching started again. I wanted to check if this is the right course of treatment or if I need to get any other tests done to find the root cause of this? From my understanding, Teczine just seems to be controlling the symptoms [itching] but nothing else. Please also let me know if taking Teczine 5mg for such long duration 30-45 days is a good idea or if it will cause any side effects. I am a Male - 38 years - living in Banaglore....I am not taking any other medication that could have started this itching. I too am having same problem from 3 months. Kindly suggest me the treatment. Thanks

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Teczine is an antihistamine medication.
It is used to treat allergic reactions.
It can be used as long as it is needed.
So,I suggest to follow the advice of your doctor.
I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
