A member asked:
If i had 10 mg claritin (loratadine) about an hour or two ago. would it be safe to drink alcohol now?

Not smart: It's not recommended to mix any antihistamine with alcohol since even the modern meds can have some sedation in some people. What's so urgent about the alcohol?

Likely OK: Claritin (loratadine) rarely causes drowsiness and it would be ok to have alcohol . It is the amount of alcohol not the Claritin (loratadine) you need to worry about.
