No, you don't want to take two of the same medications. If the Zyrtec is not taking care of your Allergies, don't take a second antihistamine on top of it. You need to switch from Zyrtec to some other antihistamine. It might be time to see your doctor and try a stronger antihistamine. Taking too much antihistamine can cause breathing difficulty.

Can you take Tylenol and Zyrtec?

Yes, if it is just plain Tylenol with just plain Zyrtec, then there are no serious interactions. If it is a Tylenol cold formula, then you need to read the box. Most of the Tylenol cold products have some combination of antitussive, decongestant, antihistamine and acetaminophen. Please check your container for the ingredients. If there is an antihistamine (usually chlorpheniramine or diphenhydramine), then do not take the Zyrtec (cetirizine) which is an antihistamine.

Can you take Zyrtec and unison together?

It is generally not recommended to take Zyrtec (an antihistamine) and Unisom (a sleep aid containing diphenhydramine) together without consulting a healthcare professional. Both medications can cause drowsiness and may increase the risk of side effects like confusion and dizziness. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.


Should you take diphenhydramine HCL or Zyrtec for wasp sting?

For a wasp sting, diphenhydramine HCL (Benadryl) may be more effective due to its sedative antihistamine properties, which can help alleviate itching and swelling. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is also an antihistamine but is less sedating and may not provide immediate relief for acute allergic reactions. It's essential to consider the severity of the sting and any history of allergic reactions. If symptoms are severe or persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Can you take Zyrtec and Benadryl together?

No, you do not want to take two antihistamines together. You should not need both of them. If Zyrtec is not working for you, it's probably time to see your doctor for a prescription antihistamine. Taking too much antihistamine can sedate you too much, and you might pass out or have trouble breathing.


Can Advil pm be taken with clarinex?

Advil-PM contains Benadryl (diphenhydramine, an antihistamine) and Clarinex is also an antihistamine, though of another type. I wouldn't take both. Try using plain Advil with a different antihistamine, Zyrtec, which also has a sedating effect.


What happens when you take Hydroxycut Benadryl and Zyrtec?

Taking Hydroxycut, Benadryl, and Zyrtec together can pose risks due to potential interactions and increased side effects. Hydroxycut is a weight loss supplement that may contain stimulants, while Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine) are antihistamines that can cause drowsiness. Combining these medications may lead to increased sedation, dizziness, and other side effects. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional before mixing these substances to ensure safety.
