Hello . Welcome to HCM
Since your wife is on strong medication,I hope you are following them regularly and also doing the required blood tests.
As for itching, since she is not on any medicine for itching she can start taking hydroxyzine(atarax 10mg) every night before bed.
The drugs she is taking maybe causing the itching as well, but do continue them as advised.
Also you can apply a menthol or calamine soothing lotion for the itching if required.
Hope this helps you.
