Can I take allegra and zyrtec together
I have been taking zyrtec and axid twice a day along with singulair, allegra and hydroxidine for four months now. My pharmasist told me today that I shouldn't take all these antihistamines together. It can cause my tongue to swell, which is why I am on all these meds to begin with.
The short answer is NO!
Our expert and nurse, Kathi MacNaughton, answered a similar question about Allegra and Clarinex. As she explained to the reader, since Allegra is a once a day antihistamine, you shouldn't take other antihistamines at the same time. The same thing goes for Zyrtec and Singulair.
Generally, these are once a day allergy medicines. Did your doctor instruct you to take Zyrtec twice a day? If not, you should talk to your doctor immediately about finding a medication and regimen that will work for you.

There was a Pharmacist agreed for me to take Zyrtec and Singulair together at the same time. I already took those 2 tablet a while ago, hope nothing will happen to me tonight.

The last time I went to my dr. for another sinus infection. She prescribed an anti-biotic and had me take a 24 hr. claritin in the morning and a 24 zyrtec at night. She also said I needed to wash out my sinuses with a saline wash in the evening and sleep with my
head elevated to encourage the mucus to drain.
