Can I take another anti histamine?

Darla, 2 July, 2009 at 18:23 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 3

Really suffering with hayfeaver today, can hardly see out of my right eye, never had it so bad. I had a 10mg cetirizine at 8am , it should be one a day but I have lost the insert to tell me if i could take another.

Only on loestrin 20 contraceptive pill as other medication.

Thank you anyone who can help! x?

    I've taken 2 a day before now as like you I find they last only 8 years. My GP said it was a waste and the 2nd on doesn't do anything. He suggested I take a different one, so Loratadine or similar. Ask your pharmacist.

    I'd say you can as I'm currently on 4 a day (2 one a day prescription only ones and 2 over the counter to try and kill my stupid Urticaria) but like pooch says if you can take a different one to the one you have it might work better.

    My H was suffering badly but has switched from his usual antihistamine (can't remember which one) to piriteze and it's cleared nearly all his symptoms.
