A member asked:

What allergy medicine can i take if i am taking lexapro (escitalopram)? i can not stop sneezing and constantly have a runny noise!!!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most: You can take an antihistamine like cetirizine. Nasal steroids are more effective but take days to kick in so you can use both.
