Hi, Mariz,

 

400 mg of Celebrex is a high dose.  I am prescribed 400 mg of Celebrex, too, but for RA.  I have asthma, also, so I take 10 mg of Zyrtec every day.  I also take Celebrex, and various other medications. I am not a doctor.  If you are concerned, you could call your pharmacist.  None of my doctors have ever cautioned me not to take my antihistamine when I take my Celebrex.

 

Best Wishes,

V
