Question
I take Klor Con 10MEQtabs, Glimiride 2MG tab, and Dilitazem cap daily.  I itch all the time now, on my chest, back and both arms.  Are they compatable?  Am I having a  neg. drug reaction?

Answer
    There are no documented drug interactions between KlorCon, glimepiride, and diltiazem.  It is possible that you are having an allergic reaction to one of these medications.  I would talk to your doctor about the possibility of an allergic reaction and ask if it would be advisable to withdraw each medication separately for a few days to see if you can find the cause of your itching.  This must be done with physician supervision due to the nature of the medications you are taking and the conditions being treated.  If this isn't the problem then you will need to work with your doctor to determine the cause of the itching.
