A member asked:
I have to take this medicine, but yesterday i found out i have been taking allergy pills instead. will anything happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Claritin (loratadine) and Allegra are non-sedating and have minimal side effects or drug interactions. Zyrtec is low-sedating. My main concern is that you would not be receiving the benefit of the medication you were supposed to take.
