Hello, I'm not on the drug but I am an oncology nurse and most patients have told me that Benedryl or Gold Bond medicated powder or creams have helped and some oncologists prescribe Atarax for the itching. You need to discuss this with your oncologist and let your onc recommend something to combat this common side effect. Good luck, Carm.

If you are taking Ipilimumab (also known as Yervoy) and are experiencing intense itching, what have you found that relieves the itching?

Side Effects (Fever): The clinical trial I am participating in has manageable side effects. I have continued working the entire year because I was able to manage my side effects. The side effects are: fever, chills, aches, pains, headache, itching, and constipation.
