Asked in Allergies, Medication and Alcohol Interactions
How long should you wait to drink alcohol after taking allergy medicine?
This depends on several factors, including the type of allergy
medicine and your location. If you're at home, having a drink or
two a couple of hours after taking allergy medicine will probably
be fine; it will probably make you drowsy. If you have to drive,
you may want to be careful about drinking, since many allergy
medicines can make you drowsy, especially if you drink. Again, it
depends on the medication strength and type.
Always ask a doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure or need more
information.

infact have a non-drowsy tendency. It is therefore not advised to
take them before sleeping.
