Which cough and allergy medications can people who've had seizures not take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decongestants: Oral decongestants can be stimulating to the brain and can trigger seizures, these are to be avoided. Otherwise second generation antihistamines and nasal sprays are generally safe to take.
