It's generally advisable to consult a healthcare professional before giving a child cough medicine if they are already taking Zyrtec (cetirizine). Both medications can cause drowsiness, and combining them may increase this effect. Additionally, some cough medicines may contain antihistamines, which could lead to an overdose of such ingredients. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist for safe medication combinations for children.

Can you give an 8 yr old cough medicine with Zyrtec?

Dogs can have either Zyrtec or Robitussin DM (or CF). These medications are for two different purposes, they can't be used interchangeably. Zyrtec is an allergy medication, and Robitussin is a cough suppressant. Your vet can advise you of the proper medication and dose for your dog, based on it's weight and the condition your dog has.

If you are ill and taking cough medicine while driving you?

Darling, if you're feeling under the weather and popping cough medicine like candy, the last place you should be is behind the wheel of a car. It's not safe for you or anyone else on the road. Pull over, take care of yourself, and leave the driving to someone who isn't hopped up on meds. Stay sassy and stay safe, honey.

Can you take Zyrtec and diphenhydramine?

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.
