Hello

Thanks for the query

Amexidil 5.0 is known to cause itching of the scalp, if the itching is mild I usually advice Tab Levocet at night to counter the itching. Please appraoch your dermatologist with my suggestion.
Alternatively dandruff is also the most common cause for itching in patients, please use a good anti dandruff shampoo, wash your scalp once in two days atleast to keep it free from dandruff.

I hope I was of help

Regards
