Yes, you can take Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine) on the same day, as they are both antihistamines that work in similar ways. However, it's generally not necessary to take them together, as they can increase the risk of side effects like drowsiness. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider before combining medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Zyrtec makes you sleepy. It's recommended for night time. Ask your local pharmascist for the theraflu info
A child should not take Benadryl along with Claritin. These two medicines do pretty much the same thing. There would be a chance of overdosing if you gave your child both of these at the same time.
Zyrtec is an antihistamine prescribed or bought over-the-counter primarily for help with allergies. It works by preventing the release of histamine, which causes the symptoms of allergies. It is used during the day due to its low incidence of drowsiness.
How long have these symptoms been going on? What time of day does she take Zyrtec?
I asked my doctor this same question. She says it's not advisable, but if your Allergies are very bad, you can take Zyrtec in the morning, and then Benadryl before bed. Zyrtec makes some people drowsy (although not me) and Benadryl makes most people drowsy, so mixing them can put you to sleep. Zyrtec dries out your system, as well, so drink extra water. Don't do this too often. Too much antihistamine can be bad for you, but doing this occasionally is okay.
You can. Remember that the Medrol is very harsh on the stomach. Have some food before you take each dose! The Zyrtec-D will make you feel jittery or nervous, and sometimes the steroid might also cause some jitteriness.
It is generally not recommended to give a baby both Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Dimetapp (brompheniramine) on the same day without consulting a pediatrician. Both medications are antihistamines and could increase the risk of side effects, such as sedation or respiratory issues. Always consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate medication and dosage for your baby’s specific condition.
Medicines should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions except on the advice of a trained doctor or pharmacist. Persons tolerance for that drug do vary, however, and some persons find that they need to take it after a delay of 17 or 18 hours, but taking it every 12 hours would be excessive. However, this is something that should be discussed with a patient's doctor or pharmacist.
Usually, yes, with no problem, and you can drive, too. However, I found if I downed aleve & Zyrtec all at once/together, I became really drowsy/fatigued. This only happened today, and I fell asleep for approx. 3 hours from 11:45am-2:52pm. If you take zyrtec (or aleve...1-2 pills for aleve, 1 for ALL day for zyrtec), space one of them apart. For instance, take the zyrtec (or aleve) first, wait 1-2+ hours, then take the aleve (or zyrtec). Spacing it out a bit leaves no reaction, at least in my experience. (also I am 25/Female, if that makes any difference...I take them both due to allergic reactions to bug bites/mosquito bites, & headaches/muscle aches).
Yes they are printed out for you the same day you take it
No, you should not take two allergy medications together because you run the risk of causing your sinuses to dry out too much and give you a splitting headache, or of getting too groggy from taking too much allergy medicine.
Yes, however there are a few side affects that need attention. These include but are not limited to:Excessive TirednessStomach PainVomitingDiarrheaTrouble Breathing or SwallowingThe side affects that don't need attention unless they are severe or don't go away are:Dry MouthDrowsinessI recommend Wal-Zyr which is Zyrtec only cheaper.
