Itching and Blood Pressure Medication

The New-Test Forum - Hives

	From	To
My Mom is 82. She took a blood pressure medication and now she has hives. She took the BP med for 2 weeks before the hives came. How long does ot take for the hives to leave, assuming the blood pressure med was the cause. Does it take a while because even though she quit taking the BP med about a week ago, the hives are still there.	baseball6 5/26/2006	.
It can take a long time for hives to stop after discontinuing a medication, but they should certainly be clearly better by now. I hope she didn't just stop taking the BP meds. I'm sure you meant to say she was switched to something else. It would be very dangerous to stop BP meds like that without being under a doctors order to do so.	who_is_this 5/27/2006	.
