What Causes Body Itching While On Atorvastatin And Pradaxa?
I am taking atorvastatin once a day, pradaxa twice a day and valsartan once a day. Since last October I ve had itching issues over different parts of my body. Especially my hands, get red and even get to the point of burning. I m wondering if any of these drugs have side effects that would cause these itching problems?

Hello,
Of the three drugs that you have mentioned, Pradaxa may cause skin rash and itching so, yes, most probably your itching is due to Pradaxa.
If itching is severe enough, you should talk to your doctor who may give another medicine in place of Pradaxa.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
