Asked by Wiki User

1st A: NEVER give an animal any human medicine unless a veterinarian tells you to. The amounts of the human medicines can kill a cat. Medication is based on body weight, plus some medicines that humans use cannot be metabolized by a cat. 2nd A: The only testing on animals was dogs, this product has never been studied or tested on cats.

Can you drink beer with antihistamine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually quite the contrary, beer contains histamine. The amount varies with different types of beer, but all beer contains histamine. Fermentation produces histamine (as well as bacterial decomposition or 'aging' of food, e.g. meat & cheese) and the extent to which a beer is fermented determines it's histamine content.

So high alcohol beer that has to ferment more (to produce the higher alcohol content) has relatively higher histamine than light beer & most lagers. Also, draft beer can contain higher levels of histamine especially if allowed to sit because bacterial decomposition begins to take place (draft is not pasteurized).

Can low blood sugars lead to diabetes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

High insulin levels occur in an attempt to counter high levels of sugar. Type II diabetes is caused by insulin receptors on cells not having much of a response to insulin. Hence, more insulin is released in an attempt to lower the blood sugar levels. This is why high insulin levels are a symptom of Type II diabetes, not a cause.

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, most antihistamines are safe to take with stimulant-based ADHD drugs (Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine). However, make sure the preparation doesn't contain pseudoephedrine which could raise blood pressure to a dangerous level combined with a stimulant taken for ADHD.

Is it safe to mix unisom with NyQuil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, do not take these together. Both of these have an ingredient which causes sleepiness. If you check the label --- you will see that it is the same drug (diphenhydramine). You would be taking a double dose of this, which could cause trouble breathing or trouble waking up in the morning. If you are over 60, you could run a risk of falling from taking a double dose.
