My wife is 35 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing itching across the body and soles of legs and palms as well for 10 days now. Doc has prescribed udiliv 150 mg per day. She has not asked for any tests but I am getting a bile acids test done. Report will take 4 days from thyrocare. Please suggest is the medication and dosage is sufficient. No other complications as such till now, tsh slightly increased and thyronorm is prescribed for that. Rest iron calcium tabs only.

You should get done liver function tests also along with liver enzymes. Also dose of udiliv is 300 mg twice a day. This will detect obstetric cholestasis in case she has.

Itching without rash could be due to rise in bile acid but late onset itching with rash in could be solely a skin condition (specific in pregnancy) Itching in palm and sole may be seen in drug allergy too. Besides liver and renal function test please review the above factor too. Thyroid abnormalities add up to skin dryness so moisturising twice daily would be helpful too.
