Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 I have been on Questran and naltrexone for the itching but found it wasn't working all that well. My doc recently switched me to Rifampin (aka Rifidin). Is this the same as Rifampicin? It seems to be taking care of the itching for me. Thanks to all responses in advance. a Tallon PSC '03 pruritus I know this has probably been covered many times but I couldn't find what I was looking for.As far as I know the main treatments for itching are Questran Rifampicin and naltrexone.I started on Questran but the last few years I have been on Rifampicicn which I found really helped. However recently the itching has been getting worse mainly on my feet and sometimes it wakes me up at night.I am seeing my doc next month and will raise this. I just wanted to find out if naltrexone is ok - no bad side effects etc. the only stuff i found on it was mainly related to drug addicts. I would be glad to get off rifampicin because I am not too keen always being on an antibiotic and also I don't like my body fluids being orange!Also is there anything else out there any good?Sorry I only ever seem to ask questions but I am not really knowledgable enough to give advice!Many thanksTim (UK) PSC 01 Permanently knackered but Ok Quote
