Is Itchy Skin With Eczema On Arms And Legs Due To Intake Of Cipralex?
Hi, I hav started taking cipralex prescribed 10mg from my doctor for postpartum depression and have really itchy skin and what appears to be exema on my arms and legs. Not sure what cream I should use and if I am needing to see my doctor to have the medicine changed?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to an allergic reaction to Cipralex. So, I recommend using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the itching. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
