A member asked:
I am currently in korea and having some kind of a sore throat and stuffy nose. i am taking zyrtec (cetirizine) + theraflu + cough syrup, is this okay?

Probably ok: You will need to watch for drowsiness when taking several types of cold medications. Zyrtec (cetirizine) itself may cause drowsiness in around 10% of the people.
