Question 1

can you take alavert with flonase and benadryl?

Accepted Answer

You should not: Alavert is a non-sedating antihistamine (loratadine), which is the same active ingredient as Claritin.  Benadryl is also a antihistamine, but causes more sedation than loratadine.  The two should not be taken together as they are the same class of medication with similar mechanisms of action.   Flonase is a nasal steroid which can be used with either Alavert or Benadryl

Question 2

can i take an alavert or benadryl (diphenhydramine) with flonase?

Accepted Answer

Both to help more: Nasal steroid such as Flonase is the front line treatment for allergic rhinitis, but at time people do need more than a spray--adding an antihistamine such as alavert, zyrtec, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Allegra is quite common--they do not interact and in fact both work to help your allergies. Of course, use the smallest effective dose when needed. Good luck.

Question 3

can i take nyquil if i also am using umcka, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and flonase?

Accepted Answer

Yes tho dont need to: Nyquil has an antihistamine so really no added benefit to both it and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at the same time.

Question 4

i take flonase and allergra for seasonal allergies, and that usually controls it. today it is not. can i take allegra, claritin, or benadryl?

Accepted Answer

Allergy treatment: If taking Allegra already you should not double up on a long acting antihistamine (Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec).  This can cause heart issues.
Intra-nasal steroids (Flonase) should be used routinely.  Adding Allegra is fine on an-needed basis.  Adding short acting (Benadryl) is ok but indicates need for better preventive care (environmental controls, more consistent Flonase use, allergy shots).

Question 5

i took 1 tablet of zyrtec 10mg and flonase today at 10am. it didnt really help, my nose is still clogged. can i take benadryl before bed so that it helps me sleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, but: you need to revise how are you taking those medicines. You need to flush your nose with saline and clear the nasal passages before using the Flonase, which has to used right, (directed backwards and outwards when inside your nose towards your ear). You can double the dose of Flonase or take it twice a day for a day or two, if all this doesn't help, better see your doctor / ENT for re-evaluatio

Question 6

i've taken zyrtec, flonase, and benadryl (diphenhydramine) but can't sleep for coughing. these are all things my doctor told me to take. can i take delsym too?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Fever? Coughing blood? Cough mainly when you lie down? Smoke? Exposed to a cat?  Take ACE such as lisinopril? You probably need an inhaler. You probably best see a respiratory specialist.

Question 7

i currently take flonase,benadryl,sudafed pe,&zyrtec, yet my allergies are not controlled. avoid food sensitivities/worse after uri. y nt controlled?

Accepted Answer

Allergy triggers: You might be a candidate for allergy desensitization shots. Are you able to avoid allergens? Make your bedroom as allergen free as possible. Here is an article from the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology:

Question 8

what can i take for my sinusitis far as allergy otc go? i've tried zyrtec, allegra d, clairatin, flonase, benadryl (diphenhydramine). none help my sinuses!

Accepted Answer

See a physician: Non of the other OTC medications will help you as you already tried almost all available OTC medications. You may need to be checked and if your diagnosis is confirmed, you may need a prescription medication for something stronger and is not available OTC

Question 9

i am taking isoniazid. is it bad to take it at the same time with flonase or other antihistamines?

Accepted Answer

Drug Interactions: There are no documented interactions between any of the three medications mentioned.

Question 10

is it ok to take pantoprazole, amoxacillan, flonase and benadril together? not at the same time but in one day? and pain reliever

Accepted Answer

Should be: Those meds as listed would be fine to take and should have no severe drug to drug interactions.  It depends on what pain reliever you are taking though.  You can always ask your pharmacist to check if there are any drug to drug interactions if you are concerned. Good luck.
