What Causes Pricking Sensation In The Body After Switching To Zantac From Nexium?
I m not sure if I m having a reaction to Zantac and also yesterday to nexium. It seemed I had the majority of the side effects to nexium so I switched to Zantac. Feel like I have pins and needles inside of me. I was fine u til 3:00 today on it but then I started feeling funny. I am very exhausted suddenly as well with the chills and prickly feeling from this. Nexium reaction was worse yesterday. Can I be having a reaction to this? Maybe an allergic one? I m not struggling to breath, but feel like my body is fighting something like a reaction. I haven t taken anything today except this. I ve eaten nothing different.
Seems most probably an allergy to Zantac which works as a hapten and body react in form of immune-mediated response to give pricking sensation in the body and so forth.
An observation of the condition by avoiding to take any of the drugs for the subsequent 10 days is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Purva Patel,
