Can you take hydroxyzine after you take claritin (loratadine) otc ?

Yes, but...: Given that they are both antihistamines, you may not see much of an effect if they are taken in close time frame. You can take Claritin in the morning, and then Hydroxyzine or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night and have some effect on allergies.

Yes: Hydroxyzine might make you sleepy, but otherwise you should be fine.
