The medication may be hard on your liver but if you don't have any liver problems then you should be fine.

Why did the doctor give you the anti-depresssant dextron when you went for skin itching problems and is it safe to take it or not?

What do you mean? There is no antidepressant called Dextron and as far as I know skin itching is a fairly common side effect of taking many anti-depressants. You may have mis-spelled the medication. Prefix DEX tells me it is probably a cortisteroid of some sort, commonly used for skin conditions such as itching. Ask your pharmacist for a printout of your medication that should answer all your questions.

Is pulmicort an antihistamine?

No, cortisone is a corticosteroid medication. Corticosteroids are normally produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands. You can take them as a medication because, as part of the endocrine system, they reduce the inflammation response, and can lessen swelling and itching. With respect to their use, they are often faster-acting and better at alleviating swelling and itching than antihistamines, and they have less side effects. However, long-term use can have negative consequences.
