A member asked:
Can i take alka-seltzer plus night severe cold and flu if i'm on zoloft (sertraline)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible interaction: According to the box label, each packet has diphenhydramine 25 mg (aka Benadryl) which causes sedation and might be a problem with Zoloft (sertraline) depending on your dose. Why not try a non-sedating decongestant? Ask the pharmacist for help.
