In reply to What's causing hives after evening med dose?, posted by Geegee on October 3, 2008, at 1:01:06
As I'm sure you know, hives are a serious symptom that shouldn't be ignored. The next step could be anaphylaxis and that, to be entirely glib, can spoil anyone's evening.
My best advice would be to get a doctor involved sooner rather than later.
While anything is possible, the fact that not much has changed in your med regimen seems to indicate to me that it is not the culprit. But, then again, the meds could be reacting in novel ways. I would leave off the magnesium and see if things improve.
There could be an environmental cause such as a new cleaning product, novel exposure to a new allergen or even a change is laundry detergent can set things off.
However, I would definately contact a physician as hives can indicate a profound allergic response.
Seldom.
