Could Altraday Cause Itching And Irritation All Over The Body?

I am 64 years old. I am diabetic and with BP. I take tablets for it. I have a problem, once in 5. 7. or 10 days I get itching of the legs from the thighs and arms from the fore arm. Did all scan of the kidney, sugar is normal range, no skin disease. The itching is like many ant biting, and irritating. it comes intermitantly. Does altraday tablets cause it??

Hi, if you have been using Altraday even prior to this episode then this drug is unlikely to be cause for your itching.

Itching is quite common in diabetic patients. It could be due to dry skin, poor circulation etc. Avoid bathing with very hot water. Use mild soaps. Use moisturiser on your skin regularly.

hope this helps

thank you
