Abstract

This report focuses on the case of a woman in her 80s struggling with pruritus of a likely multifactorial cause within an inpatient unit at a hospice. Subcutaneous chlorphenamine 10mg twice daily, was used when the oral route was unavailable. Pruritus and associated rash resolved within 6 days of treatment being commenced. There was no further rash or pruritus after this. There is little literature about the use of subcutaneous chlorphenamine and this case report highlights its use can be effective for treatment of pruritus in palliative care and broaden therapeutic options. Further research is needed to support its use when administered subcutaneously.

期刊介绍： Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance. We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication. In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
