A member asked:

I have cold and congestion. i took claritin -d, is it ok to take my maxalt (rizatriptan) mlt 10 for headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: However, both the "d" in clariten d and the Maxalt (rizatriptan) mlt can cause a feeling of a pounding heartbeat, so beware of this possible side effect. In fact whenever you mix medicines, they can increase some side effects.
