Why itchy taking biotin is more common w/people w/ ms? mom has ms & found supplement that helps tingles but biotin in it makes her itch. ok to take?

Better not: Try to find an alternative, the itch could be a side effect, or more serious an allergy to the drug, in either case better to avoid, if it turns to be an allergy it might progress rather to a more serious reaction, wish you and your mother wellness

Comments: Although not fully proven, there seems to be some benefit from Biotin in progressive MS. If the supplement causes itching, there may be an allergic reaction, but this could be secondary to a different additive in the preparation. Her doctor could help sort this out, so get neurologist involved.
