For example,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a 2016 study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26545381\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the European<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that reducing nasal symptoms by taking an oral antihistamine like Zyrtec and pairing it with a nasal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/corticosteroids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corticosteroid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was more effective than taking an oral antihistamine alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"safety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Mandal says that combining Zyrtec and nasal sprays is beneficial and generally not harmful. \u201cIt is typically safe to take Zyrtec and a nasal spray together,\u201d she says. Although there isn\u2019t robust data on the safety profile of taking these medications together, they are different medication classes, so you will not be taking too much of any one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/best-non-drowsy-allergy-medicine\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allergy medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, everyone is different, so you should discuss this combination with your healthcare provider before taking it. This is especially important if you have underlying medical conditions if you are considering giving this combination to a child, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-take-zyrtec-and-flonase-together\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you take Zyrtec and Flonase together?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/flonase-allergy-relief\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flonase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (fluticasone) is a popular nasal steroid. It\u2019s<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDA-approved to treat nasal symptoms associated with seasonal allergies and other allergies, as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/drugsatfda_docs\/label\/2003\/020121s028lbl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nonallergic rhinitis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (congestion not related to allergies). It works by decreasing inflammation in the nose and nasal passages. Flonase can be used in adults and children four years and older. Flonase doesn\u2019t usually cause significant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/druginfo\/meds\/a695002.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but dry mouth, sore throat, and nose irritation can occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have stubborn seasonal allergies, you might wonder if Zyrtec and Flonase can be taken together. Cometa says they can. Each medication has a different mode of action\u2014Zyrtec is an antihistamine, and Flonase is a steroid\u2014but they work well together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cZyrtec will provide quicker, more immediate relief from common symptoms such as a runny nose and sneezing,\u201d she describes. \u201cFlonase is a more long-term medication used to decrease the inflammation often present and contributes to allergy-related symptoms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In adults, Zyrtec is typically dosed as a 10mg tablet taken once a day, Cometa explains. \u201cSince it is a second-generation antihistamine and doesn&#8217;t result in significant sedation like Benadryl, morning or evening dosing is okay,\u201d she says. Flonase is used as one or two sprays in each nostril, once per day, usually in the morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div class=\"singlecare-dynamic-newsletter-wrapper sin-newsletter-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"heading\">Get our allergies newsletter<\/span>\n\t\t\t<form class=\"form-wrapper\" data-newsletter-form=\"1\" data-subsource=\"Allergies Newsletter\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"dynamic-email\">Email<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" id=\"dynamic-email\" class=\"email\" required>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"submit-form-btn\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Click to sign up\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"success-message\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-combine-nasacort-and-zyrtec\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you combine Nasacort and Zyrtec?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Flonase, Nasacort (triamcinolone acetonide) is a nasal steroid spray that works by decreasing inflammation in the nasal passages.

Cometa assures, &#8220;Yes, you can take Zyrtec with Nasacort. Nasacort is a steroid, similar to Flonase, so the reasoning behind combined treatment is the same.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Cometa, if you take Zyrtec with Nasacort, you should stick to a dose of Zyrtec of 10mg daily. Nasacort is taken as one or two sprays per nostril each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-medications-should-you-not-take-with-zyrtec\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What medications should you not take with Zyrtec?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zyrtec has a strong safety profile, but it is<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=b165db38-b302-4220-8627-77cb07bb078c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">known to cause sleepiness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so it\u2019s highly recommended not to take it with other medications that cause drowsiness. \u201cI generally advise not to combine Zyrtec with sedatives or sleeping pills,\u201d says Dr. Mandal. \u201cCertain antidepressants like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/maois\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAOIs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) can interact with Zyrtec and increase the risk of side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cometa agrees. \u201cWhile Zyrtec is not highly sedating, the effects can be amplified with medications like narcotics, anxiety medications, seizure medications, muscle relaxants, and sleeping pills,\u201d she says. \u201cCaution is advised with these medication combinations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Mandal also advises against combining Zyrtec with other antihistamines. Additionally, antifungal medications like ketoconazole and antibiotics like erythromycin \u201ccan increase the level of Zyrtec in the body and cause <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/zyrtec-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d she says. Finally, Dr. Mandal recommends that if you have kidney disease, you should talk to your healthcare provider, as your dose of Zyrtec may need to be adjusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should reach out to your healthcare provider before combining Zyrtec with any new medications, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an underlying medical condition.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are dealing with the unpleasant symptoms of respiratory allergies, such as coughing, sneezing, congestion, watery eyes, and itchy throat, you want relief, and you want it now.
