Question 1

is it safe to take aleve d sinus headache with levovetirizine 5 mg because i got a bad sinus headache.doc got me levovetirizine for post nasal drip .

Accepted Answer

Yes it's safe: The nasal spray is an antihistamine for allergies and the aleve has a decongestant to open up the sinuses and loosen mucous.  These are commonly taken together.  However, given that you are taking medication for high blood pressure, you should be careful with any decongestant as they can raise your BP.  Use Coricidin instead or talk to hour pharmacist. Keep a close eye on your BP.

Soe meds are safe: Tylenol, (acetaminophen) antihistamines(eg Claritin alavert etc, not with "d") should not react with his parkinsons meds.  Prescription nasal steroids are also helpful.
