A member asked:

Can i take tylenol (acetaminophen) sinus congestion with claritin 24 hours?

Yes : You can take both medications together, pls make sure that you take no more than 3000mg per day. Any decongestant should be used for short period of time only to avoid rebound congestion, watch out for dryness if prolonged use of antihistamines like claritin (loratadine). Pls see your dr if symptoms persist after a couple of days. Hydrate well.

Yes, for short time: The previous answer is sound. To add: the 3,000 mg per day relates to the Tylenol (a.k.a. acetaminophen) component. Also check the decongestant drug that appears in both products. If it is the same, mind the daily dose. If different, it is harder to advise around doses, but know that there is little need for both, and they may raise your blood pressure. Safer take plain Tylenol with Claritin-D 24.
