HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The drug which you are taking is a angiotensin receptor antagonist is known to induce hypersensitivity (Itching ) I better advise you to switch over to some other drug for hypertension, you can inform your Doctor about this, even if the problem persistence then for a symptomatic relief take second generation antihistamine "levocetrizin 5 mg three times in day, have great day.
