What Causes Severe Itching While On Pradaxa And Cephalexin?

I am taking Pradaxa blood thinner and asI had a bladder infection I took Cephalexin, and I had severe itching and a skin rash, Was that the interaction of the 2 drugs or possibly that i have become allergic to Cepalexin, which i have taken in he past?

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear since when you're taking pradaxa?? Prasugrel patients may develop rash all over the body.

just observe if you deveoped itching after taking of cephalexin then the problem with cephalexin. Just stop it and see. But don't stop pradaxa. Then still your suffering from itching it may be due to pradaxa. But don't stop it abruptly before stopping it consult your doctor he will examine and advice alternate medicine to you.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor immediately.

Take care.
