I am on Lasix and Prozac,the is itch is on my hands and legs

Answered by Dr. Ornela Ademovi (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
A possible side effect of Lasix

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,

Itching and rash are common side effects of Lasix, so I recommend you talk to your doctor about a replacement and alternative therapy. It is important to first rule out medication as the cause for the break out before considering other causes.

In the meantime, I'd recommend you use Benadryl and make sure you see your doctor as soon as possible.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
