Itchy from Ranitidine syrup

Is it possible? I read that you can get hives or rashes, but I'm having just random small raised skin spots popping up that itch since starting Ranitidine. One started on my collar bone and it looked like a mosquito bite, so I kept scratching it, which opened it, but it still itches, and it's been a week. I now have noticed a couple on my belt line that itch, but I'm trying not to scratch those. I thought those could be bites, because the back of my shirt was raised up one night when I was sitting outside.

I've never had something like this in my whole life and it seems like it started after taking this. I also will feel like I'm being bitten at night, which is such a weird feeling. I thought bed bugs at first, but my boyfriend does not feel the sensation and he's not itchy.

Has anyone else experienced this at all?

Lots of people are allergic to the excipients in medicines, especially in liquid medicines. It's often not the active ingredient; it's the colors, sweeteners, flavoring, etc. In my case, I would have a problem with the saccharin, the peppermint flavor, and possibly the parabens, none of which are in the tablets, which I do tolerate. (I can't take liquid Benadryl either for the same reason, but am fine with tablets or capsules.)

If you can't do without this med, it does come in forms other than liquid. If you can't swallow the tablets ask your doctor if it's OK to crush them and take with applesauce or pudding. Get a good pill crusher from your pharmacist!
