I just went to the allergist to determine what meds were safe for pregnancy. She took me off the Allegra and recommended Claritin in the morning and Zyrtec at night. Generic brands are fine. She said to NOT get Claritin-D or anything with the D since that hasn't been approved for women who are pregnant or wanting to get pregnant.

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/503104_Figures This link listed above will bring you to a site that provides diagrams which illustrate the immune response. Zyrtec is an H1-receptor antagonist. Zyrtec appears to compete with the histamine molecule (produced by mast cells) for cellular binding sites... so the histamine lacking for an available binding site does not have a chance to trigger a series of events which result in the allergic symptoms we experience.

can you take naproxen and then claritin

As a pharmacy doctorate candidate I would say that it is not recommended to give Zyrtec and Benadryl together since they will both relieve allergy symptoms in similar ways. Zyrtec is best if you want non-drowsy relief. Benadryl would be best if you want the child to sleep. Both however, are effective.

I am not getting an answer. Can you take zrytec with Diovan

no

In my case, the answer is yes. I have asthma, and seasonal allergies. I have been on claritin for years, but this year i have had significant nasal allergies that the claritin hasn't prevented, such as post nasal drip, which then causes congestion and asthma flare ups. So my Pulmonologist just prescribed Atepro nasal spray to be taken daily along with claritin.

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.

Cetirizine is an antihistamine, not a narcotic.

Yes

There, you can "plug in" different drugs and find out if there are any known interactions.

You really need to ask a pharmacist to be sure. Don't gamble with drugs, drug combinations or your health. Call your local drug store. They'll be glad to assist.

Addition: When I took Accutane, they told me the last thing I should take would be a mood booster.

No, it is not safe to mix two different medicines, especially for children.

Yes I have taken them together with no problems.

Yes there is no problem in taking claritin D while using Advair pumps.

yes you can. I contacted the poison control center and it said that there is no drug interaction yes you can. I contacted the poison control center and it said that there is no drug interaction

Zyrtec (cetirizine) is classified as a second generation antihistamine. It is believed to antagonize peripheral H1 receptors and not cross the blood brain barrier (this is why it is less drowsy then other antihistamines). The side effects of Zyrtec such as dry mouth may suggest that it does have some anticholinergic properties.

Yes, this is OK. Remember that Zyrtec-D has pseudoephedrine in it. This decongestant makes you nervous and jittery sometimes. Don't take any other medications with antihistamines or decongestants with the Zyrtec. Use your albuterol if you need it, as your doctor has prescribed.

Yes

I'm not a doctor, but in my experience it is safe as long as it is not Claritin D. Claritin is loratadine and Advil Cold & Sinus is ibuprofen and Pseudoephedrin. Claritin D is both of these combined minus the ibuprofen, so I would say it is safe, it has never caused me any problems.

No, Zyrtec/Cetirizine can not pass the blood brain barrier very much and has very little effect on the mind. The related link mentions it may cause drowsiness.
