Call your Dr today: You may be developing an allergy to the medication, in which case you need taken off of it now. Also, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) + Pepcid will help reduce itching & dr can prescribe Prednisone or Decadron to help shut down reaction. Call / page your dr now. Go to er if any difficulty breathing.

Stop it: I would recommend stopping the medicine completely and contacting your doctor. You may have an allergy to the medicine.
