I have been prescribed the following meds subsequent to being diagnosed to hospital with liver damage:-

  1. Riflaximin
  2. Spironalactone
  3. Thiamine
  4. Vitamin B strong compound
  5. Folic Acid
  6. Furosemide

This has resulted in chronic itching at night and my skin has started to peel all over. Please can anyone advise here? Many thanks, Sue

    You may have reacted to the Thiamine. This is a common side effect and you should report it to your doctor.
