Hello doctor,
I am 8 months and 10 days pregnant. I am having itching in my whole body from the last eight days. I also tried Aloe Vera lotion for it. Is taking Atarax tablets safe for me at this time?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do you have itching with rash or without rash? And do you have itching palms and soles as well? You may have obstetric cholestasis and you must see your obstetrician immediately and do not self treat the condition. You need liver function tests. Get checked to see if the liver is working properly because it is a serious condition in pregnant women and may have adverse effects on your baby as well if left untreated.
