What Causes Itchiness And Spots All Over Body While On Tums And Nadolol?
Hi:Recently notice I m very itchy with hot spots all over my body whenever I drink orange juice or take Tums for calcium supplement. I m on 10 mg of Nadolol and 37.5 mg of Effexor daily and that s it. Diet is high protein foods, low meat and lots of salad and veggies. I ve been itch free for days and have slowly been reintroducing items and BINGO after taking the Tums 1000 mg today, the itching started. Please advise as to why this may be the culprit. I m 52 and healthy female otherwise and am concerned about my calcium intake. Please advise.
