Any medicine can cause itching due to allergy.
Take cetrizine 5mg one morning and one evening for 5 days.
Tab monteleukast 10mg one daily for 5 days.
Please consult if problem continues.
You are taking an H. pylori eradication HP kit (usually contains a PPI + 2 antibiotics like amoxicillin/clarithromycin/metronidazole).
Next Steps
• Stop the HP kit immediately and contact your doctor (important)
• Take an anti-allergic (after medical advice), e.g.:
– Levocetirizine / cetirizine
• Watch for warning signs:
– Rash, swelling of lips/face
– Breathing difficulty → seek urgent care
• Your doctor may:
– Change to an alternative H. pylori regimen
– Decide if LFT (liver tests) are needed
Health Tips
• Do not restart the same kit without medical advice
• Always inform future doctors about this reaction
• Avoid alcohol during such antibiotic therapy
• Stay hydrated
⚠️ Red flags:
• Severe itching with rash
• Yellowing of eyes/skin (jaundice)
• Dark urine
