Hives and allergies
After taking dicyclomine for about a month, I developed hives. They went away within a couple of days after stopping the medication but now keep recurring, even six weeks later. Claritin keeps them under control. Is it typical for a drug allergy to keep recurring? Do I just keep taking Claritin?
It seems like the medication should have completely worked its way out of your system by now. It is a very sedating medication, too. I only take it if I absolutely have to, instead of everyday, like I used to. I would talk to your doctor about this just to be sure. You could save yourself a trip and some money if you can call to talk to your clinic's triage nurse or a community nurse advice line just to ask a question of how long this kind of medication takes to work its way through the system because of your obvious allergy to this medication.
I took it for about a month. Since I've been off it for over a month, I wondered if I should still be having a reaction.
How long did you use Dicyclomine? I wonder if it might still be cycling out of your body?
