My 92-year-old mother just increased her dose of Lasix and the Fentanyl Patch. Why is she is losing hair and itching her scalp and skin?

my mother had a rash and itching when she was put on lasix...she was allergic to it and put on a different diuretic. Call her doctor and let them know whats going on.

Call her doctor immediately about the hair loss and itching scalp and skin - this could be an allergic reaction to the pain meds. do you have any other specific questions?
