I'm really struggling and could use some advice. I've been taking fexofenadine for about three years, but I recently stopped. Now, I'm dealing with this intense itching all over my body, and it feels unbearable. I think it's from the withdrawal of stopping the medication. What can I do to relieve this itching? Any immediate suggestions or steps I should take?

Having just recovered from jaundice a couple of months ago, my friend, whos only 23, is really worried about losing a lot of hair lately. We visited a doctor who suggested using a procapil-based solution, but we're concerned about any side effects or what might happen if she stops using it. Could you shed some light on this?

yes you can have it
