Do Probiotics, Osteo Bi-Flex And Fish Oil Induce Itching?

I have recently begun taking Probiotics, Osteo Bi-Flex, and Fish oil. since I have been taking these supplements I have been experiencing itching and burning especially after taking a bath or after hand washing. How can I know if any of these is the cause. I laid off for a week, the itching was there but not as severe. Just started back today and the itching seems to have intensified. Are any of these supplement associated this side effect?

Hi,

As per my clinical experience, itching is associated with side effect of fish oil most likely. You should stop fish oil first and observe for further 3-4 days regarding the itching and then follow up again online.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
