Any time you combine two (or more) medicines, you are running a risk of there being a negative interaction, or a synergistic effect that makes bother of them stronger. Combining an antihistamine with a stimulant, at a low dose, is probably okay. In fact, there are preparations of Claritin that do just that. But if you mix them yourself, make sure that the medicines you are mixing do not have any other active ingredients in them; things can get very dangerous very quickly when people are careless with over-the-counter drugs.

Can you take Claritin with Sudafed?

Since Claritin-D contains both loratadine and pseudoephedrine combined then common sense tells you that you can take both regular Claritin and Sudafed together with no dangerous interactions (but not Claritin-D as you would be then exceeding the recommended dose of pseudoephedrine).Or you can simply buy Claritin-D and save a few bucks.


How much sudafed in Claritin?

Claritin (loratadine) does not contain Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) in its formulation. However, there are combination products available that include both an antihistamine like loratadine and a decongestant like pseudoephedrine. Always check the specific product label for the exact amounts if considering such a combination.

The D part of Claritin-D is psuedoephedrine (Sudafed) which is an ingredient in methamphetamine. It is expensive and would most likely not be used for illegal drug manufacturing. However, it is illegal to purchase this Claritin-D in the USA without having a valid driver's license and being 18 years of age.


Would dexatrim sudafed or clariten show up on a drug test as methamphetamine?

No, Dexatrim, Sudafed, and Claritin should not show up as methamphetamine on a drug test. However, pseudoephedrine, an ingredient in Sudafed, can sometimes cause false positives for amphetamines. It's recommended to inform the tester of any medications you have taken to avoid any misunderstandings.

Can you mix Benadryl and dextromethorphan?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended. The two drugs basically do the same thing, and, as opposed to mixing say naproxen, Acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, there would be no benefit - just more drowsiness and dry-mouth.


Can you take Sudafed with cataflam and robaxin?

Now you are starting to mix a bit much into your cocktail. I usually recommend that you not mix over the counter medicines with prescriptions unless you check with your doctor. Over the counter medicines still have side effects, and some can be quite severe if you mix them or take too many. Sudafed makes you very nervous and jittery. You are already having muscle cramps and pain. Save the Sudafed until you feel better. Try a saline nasal spray if you are having runny nose - that would be safe with your other drugs.
