I have developed a mild case of Hepatitis from interaction with antibiotics and other medications such as blood pressure medicine. I suspect benazepril 40 mg, amlodipine 10 mg, tamsulosin .4 mg, and omeprazole 40 mg twice daily. I recently had Barrett's surgery and cyst drainage on my pancreas. I am currently off all prescription medications but have been prescribed 10 mg prednisone twice daily. The itching is really bad. Is there anything that can be done for itching relief?
