Question 1

if i take a zyrtec (cetirizine) in the morning, can i have a beer or drink that evening?

Accepted Answer

Be cautious: The plasma elimination half-life is approximately 8 to 9 hours. It is a long half life time. Talk to your prescribing physician to ovoid future accident or side effects.

Question 2

can i drink beer while taking zyrtec (cetirizine)?

Accepted Answer

NO: And the zyrtec shouldn't be your question, it should be the Klonopin (clonazepam).  Benzos and alcohol DO NOT MIX.  In fact, alcohol use itself can promote anxiety - it initially will dull it a bit, but then will rebound and it will increase - becomes a vicious cycle. Exactly how much beer are we talking about, and does the prescriber of your Klonopin (clonazepam) know about it?  If not, they NEED to know, and soon.

Question 3

can you take more than 1 zirtek a day?

Accepted Answer

Zyrtec (cetirizine): You can take up to 2 but you will feel very tired. I suggest you see an allergist to treat your symptoms better then overdosing on a medication.

Question 4

zyrtec vs cetirizine?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: The generic name for zyrtec is cetirizine.

Question 5

can i mix kelfex and beer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no contraindication to taking Keflex with alcohol but if you have an infection requiring antibiotic treatment i would limit the alcohol consumption until you're better.

Question 6

does beer affect glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

No: Alcohol is known to lower eye pressure, but in population studies drinking was not related to or a risk factor for glaucoma.  Heavy fluid intake quickly could theoretically raise eye pressure temporarily.

Question 7

is beer considered alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: One can of regular beer = 1 shot of hard liquor.

Question 8

is beer good for prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

No: In social amounts it is neither good nor bad. In high doses, it has been associated with prostate cancer. See a urologist or men's health expert to look for appropriate ways to help your prostate, which may include prostatic massage, antibiotics and other measures.

Question 9

how to open package zyrtec-d?

Accepted Answer

Carefully: Open it very carefully according to the instructions on the box. Otherwise, return to pharmacy and ask them to show you how to open the package.

Question 10

does beer cause constipations?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Either beer, whiskey or wine and cafeine intake all dehydrate and can contribute to constipation. Cut these out and replace with 80-100 ounces of water, juices, gatorade type fluids and this should resolve.
