Question 5

i'm taking accutane for severe cystic acne. i also get a lot of allergy. is it save to take allergy medication while on accutane?

Accepted Answer

I believe you are ok: These are working on different systems. The best anti-allergy medicines for you may be those that are relatively non-drying to the mucosal surfaces. Should you develop nosebleeds, get with your primary care physician. As always, i'd welcome ideas from other healthtap physicians.

Question 6

what a good cold, flu or allergy medication out there?

Accepted Answer

Many choices: There is no magic pill out there and it all depends on what symptoms your are trying to treat. A decongestant for a cold or flu is available is many different combinations over the counter under different brand names. Look at the ingredients, Pseudoephedrine is a good decongestant avilable in combination with other medications. For allergies, a non drowsy long acting antihistamine is allegra (fexofenadine).

Question 7

which allergy medication works best for a 5 yr old?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or claritin: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) works well but can be sedating, or paradoxically might cause hyperactivity.  Claritin is a nice alternative, working for 24 hours and usually not sedating.

Question 8

can i take hydrocodone and a non-drowsy allergy medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Should be ok at normal doses of hydrocodone (5-15 mg per dose, 3-4 times a day).  At VERY high doses (more than 120 mg per day), there is a slight risk of heart arrhythmia along with things like ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) or psuedoephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) due to an additive effect.

Question 9

it is a problem to drink alcohol after taking allergy medication?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Because many allergy medications can cause drowsiness, even the non-drowsy ones, it is not a good idea to drink alcohol while on one of the systemic allergy medications.  I recommend that you not drink alcohol when taking allergy medications.

Question 10

what allergy medication is safe to take if i am on diazepam and copd?

Accepted Answer

Several: Claritin, (loratadine) Allegra and zyrtec are safe and tend to cause less drowsiness than other antihistamines. Excessive drowsiness with diazepam can occur with chlorpheniramine or brompheniramine which are in many over the counter allergy medications. There is a theoretic concern of thickening sputum and causing more airflow obstruction.
