Question 1

how many reactine pills can i take at once?

1-2, depends on size: Zyrtec (cetirizine) is the U.S. Medication. It may be called reactine in other countries. If using zyrtec (cetirizine) dosing, 5 mg works for kids, and 10mg for teens and adults.

Question 2

can i take reactine and claritine at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Antihistamines: Best to take one at a time, and see if it's working or not. Doubling up doesn't always lead to better results.

Question 3

what is the max dose of reactine extra strength you can take daily? one isnt enough

Accepted Answer

Up to 4x/day: Since you did not provide any info on your condition, the answer can only be a general one. Do note that antihistamine alone does not provide decongesting effect if you have nasal congestion for which a nasal steroid or nasal antihistamine will likely work far better.

can i mix 20mg reactine (not taken since june 14, 2018) with a cup of neo citran extra strength (taken 2 hrs ago)?

Accepted Answer
