Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 30)

I was out drinking several glasses of wine and came home and took a teaspoon of cheratussin ac. Is there any risk of interaction? ## Actually yes, there might be, since this medication contains Codeine and should not be combined with alcohol, since both of them cause depression of the central nervous system, according to the FDA. Combining them could result in lowered heart rate, lowered blood pressure, severe drowsiness, severe dizziness, and could be fatal, if too much of each is combined. Did you experience any adverse effects? ## I took Cheratussin 4 hours before I drank a shot and a half of alcohol. Will it be ok for me to go to sleep? I drank the alcohol 2 hours ago.

blank with score on one side, other side has W on top & 823 beneath. ## I’m trying to identify the pill you described perfectly. It’s either Claritin or prednisone 10mg. Sometimes my meds have totally different sizes and shapes and I’ve lost the label on these. Sometimes I put my meds for two or four days together if I’m staying away from home. I’m at end stage lung disease and take quite a few pills to say the least. I haven’t been able to find this one like the usual searches I ve done before thank you for any help you can tell me

I had taken generic Zyrtec for years and decided to stop many months ago. I had no withdrawal symptoms when I stopped until a week ago I broke out in a rash on my arms, then spread to my neck, chest and thighs. Terrible itching and redness. Wondering if my rash is related to the discontinuation of Zyrtec. Has anyone else experienced this? From what I have been reading, most people have withdrawal symptoms as soon as they stop taking this drug. ## Hi Rose, Sorry to hear about your situation. If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to check out the following related discussion thread pertaining to Zyrtec/Cetirizine withdrawal symptoms at: medschat.com/204553 Apparently, the itching and rashes have affected quite a significant number of people. However, if I recall correctly, somewhere...

Can benedryl, Tylenol and acetaminophen be taken in a 24 hour period? ## Can you mix alka seltzer plus night and benadryl? ## Tylenol contains the active ingredient Acetaminophen, so you do have to be careful with it.
