Can I also take Claritin D medicine with dimetapp cold and allergy together? ## Hi Anne, From what I could gather, there are no drug interactions listed between the active ingredients in Claritin-D (loratadine + pseudoephedrine) and Dimetapp Cold & Allergy (brompheniramine + phenylephrine). So with that said, you shouldn't experience any problems taking the two medications together. However, I would always recommend consulting with your doctor first before making any changes to your current regimen. This way if certain side effects do occur, he or she would at least be aware of the situation ahead of time. I hope this helps!

I have a clear capsule with cream and tan beads inside. It also has B092 on the outside. I can't identify it. ## Hello Kim, Based on my research, a clear capsule imprinted "B092", containing tan/off-white beads, is reportedly identified as Rhinabid (Phenylephrine HCl 15mg + Brompheniramine Maleate 12mg); a medication used for relieving allergy and cold symptoms. These pills are said to be manufactured by a company called Breckenridge Pharmaceutical. Apparently they have several office locations throughout the east coast in places like Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, as well as one in New York. I hope this info helps!

Why did the manufacturers change the formulary of Dimetapp Elixer about 15-17 years ago? ## I looked around online and couldn't find any specific details stating what the old formula contained. Do you happen to have any information on the what the ingredients used to be prior to the change? According to the manufacturer (Pfizer) the current formula contains: Brompheniramine Maleate 2mg + Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5mg + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10mg But maybe if you contacted them directly they'd have more background info on previous formulas. Their customer service hotline can be reached at: 800-762-4672 or 800-762-4675, Monday thru Friday between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm EST. I hope this helps!
