Read the back of your bottle, and look at the age specifications. Contact your doctor or local 24 hour pharmacy if you are unclear. On that note if some sixteen year old answered yes would you have?

Can you take a Zyrtec while taking penicillin?

Yes, that's OK. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine. It's fine to take antibiotics and antihistamines together. Remember to take all of the penicillin even after you start feeling better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!

Hello!
Always be sure to take your pet to a Vet before administering any type of medition.
There could be other causes for allergy like symptoms, and you would not want to treat for the wrong problems. Also, not all human medication is safe for pets, so at the very least call your Vet and be sure before giving it to your pet.

Taken according to their individual instructions, yes they can. Many, many people - including this writer - do.

Can children take Zyrtec and triaminic together?

I don't recommend taking two different antihistamines together without your doctor's say-so. Taking too much antihistamine causes excessive sleepiness, which could interfere with your job or school. It might also make you fall asleep at the wheel. Too much antihistamine use also causes excess dryness, which can cause a splitting sinus headache and trouble urinating.

Can you take Zyrtec and Xanax with Antronex and Allerplex?

i have scleroderma and am on both - my doctor and the pharmacist agree they are okay together. hope this helps.

Can you take Benzonatate with Zyrtec?

Benzonatate is used for cough. It may cause drowsiness in some people. It should never be chewed and should always be swallowed whole.

I assume the other drug your are asking about is clonazepam (Klonopin). It is a benzodiazepine. It, too, causes drowsiness.

Other than the increased drowsiness from taking both of these agents together, there are no clinically significant interactions.

Can you mix Robitussin and Zyrtec D?

I'm afraid that, even though it's unlikely it would be serious, the pseudoephedrine in the Zyrtec D and the dextromethorphan in the Mucinex could interact with each other. However normal Zyrtec with just cetirizine would be perfectly safe.

Can you take Zyrtec and advil cold and sinus?

Yes. Zyrtec is a 24 hour antihistamine which decreases the allergic response in your sinuses, lungs, eyes, skin, etc. Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which must be taken every 6-8 hours and treats pain and inflammation through out your body. Some people should not take ibuprofen at all but there is no interaction between Zyrtec and Advil.

Can you take Paxil and Zyrtec d together?

I started having panic attackes when I combined Prestiq and Zyrtec D

Can you take Zyrtec with panadeine?

Both Panadeine and Sudafed contain paracetamol, so if you took a full dose of each together you would be exceeding the recommended paracetamol dose. I suppose if you really wanted the effects of both pills you could take a half dose (one tablet) of each.

How often do you take Zyrtec?

Zyrtec, an antihistamine used for allergy relief, is typically taken once daily. It's important to follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or those provided by a healthcare professional. For some individuals with persistent allergy symptoms, daily use may be necessary, while others may only need it occasionally during allergy seasons. Always consult with a doctor if you have questions about your specific situation or dosage.

Can you use Zyrtec the day of surgery?

Yes actually. Most of the time, some doctors prescribe this medication prior to surgery as a prophylactic from allergies and also to help the patient relax and stay calm when going into surgery.

Can you take Zyrtec and prevacid together?

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.

How does Zyrtec help allergies?

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.

How many hours between children's Zyrtec and Benadryl?

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.

Can you take Levocetirizine with Zyrtec?

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.

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.
