Question 1

Yes, but why ?: Studies of loritadine show the medication is well tolerated at twice the recommended 10 mg dose. However, the same studies show no added benefit of the double dose in symptom relief over the regular dose schedule.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

There : There is no known interaction as far as I am aware with marijuana and the meds you listed in your post. However, you should inform your doctor of what you are doing. If applicable you can ask to be prescribed medical marijuana if it is legal in your state and a licensed medical professional feels it will help you. 
Best of luck.
