Hi,

Phentermine sometimes causes hives, they can appear anywhere in the body causing itchy rashes. Side effects of Topiramate, are itchy rash or swelling in the face, tongue or throat. Inform about the itchy rashes to the treating PCP & get physically examined, get evaluated so that the medications or doses can be altered.

Apply calamine lotion in the area affected, you can also apply hydrocortisone cream. You can stop all the other medications and take antihistamines to get rid of your allergic reactions after consultation with a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
