Question 1

can you take clairton d and zyrtec (cetirizine) together?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended.: Claritin (loratadine) and zyrtec have similar action and taking them together will result in duplication and additives side effects( headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue).It is best to avoid taking both medications together except under the care of a physician. If neither Claritin (loratadine) d nor zyrtec d is helpful, then see your physician for evaluation and care.

Question 2

Hope this helps

Question 3

can you take zyrtec (cetirizine) and benadrly together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is time tested old antihistamine and works well. It can cause drowsiness so use it before going to bed. Zyrtec causes less or no drowsiness and can be taken in the morning or day time. Most antihistamines quit working after a while. In that case consider allergy evaluation to treat the cause of the problem.

Question 4

can  i take clariton d  and zyrtec (cetirizine) d together?

Accepted Answer

Not a great idea: There is likely no added benefit of taking these two medications together. The real question is what kind of symptoms are you attempting to treat. There are other medication that can treat nasal symptoms that are better than antihistamines with decongestant including intranasal steroid sprays. See an Allergist if you would like more guidance on what combination of meds can improve your symptoms.

Question 5

is it possible for me to take zyrtec (cetirizine) and claratin together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why?: Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine) are both new generation antihistamines.  While it is fine to take both antihistamines, it should not be necessary.  Most patients find relief with one or the other.  If symptoms are not controlled and a person feels the need to take both, consider seeing an allergist for an evaluation and different medication regimen.

Question 6

can i take promethazine and zyrtec (cetirizine) togethet?

Accepted Answer

Not toxic, but why?: Both have antihistamine properties, if needing the anti-nausea of promethazine, should also address allergic symptoms. Otherwise, zyrtec (cetirizine) less sedating.

Question 7

can i take zyrtec and allegra (fexofenadine) together?

Accepted Answer

Not advisable : I would not take both at the same time because these medications do the same thing and can have additive effects if used together. They are both antihistamines for the treatment of allergies. If one of these alone is not helping, sometimes switching to the other one is helpful. If none of these remedies work, then consultation with your doctor or allergist would be appropriate.

Question 8

can you take zyrtec and tamiflu (oseltamivir) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if...: If a person was able to take zyrtec and tamiflu (oseltamivir) separately in the past, without any problems related to the medications, then she should be able to take them at the same time, together. If any concerns arise, she can ask the doctor who prescribed the tamiflu (oseltamivir).

Question 9

is it possible for me to take zyrtec (cetirizine) and cold medicine together?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: You can take both medications together without any serious side effects providing that you take both at the recommended otc doses.

Question 10

the zyrtec alone isnt helping. anyone else take claritin (loratadine) with zyrtec together?

Accepted Answer

See below: That would not be advised. Again, treating allergies adequately, depends upon the symptoms you are having. For congestion, you need a decongestant, such as Allegra d. Also, nasal steroid sprays are an another alternative.
