A member asked:

Im taking hydroxyzine 10mg daily for anxiety then i'm also taking singulair (montelukast) for sinusitis. i understand hydroxyzine has antihistamine property. ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is OK because singulair (montelukast) is not an anti-histamine. It works by a different mechanism to help with allergies / sinus problems.
