Do Intake Of Thyroid And BP Medication Cause Weight Loss And Itchy Skin?
I am 62 yrs old. Diabetic, havr hypo thyroid,and got RA since last Oct. Taking 10 mg folitrax once a week, hqcs 200 mg twice daily n folvitae twice a week. Taking Glador 4, Jannumet 50/500 once a day and Thelma H for BP. I have lost a lot of weight n skin is itching on my thighs n buttocks. What is your advice?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Loos of weight and skin itching are commonly related to an uncontrolled diabetes. So, I suggest to maintain under control the glycemic level. Meanwhile,I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine to relieve the itching.
Hope my answer was helpful.
