Can I Take Excedrin With Loratadine?
Question: Can I take Excedrin with Loratadine? I was sneezing and I have a itchy throat and nose so I took a store brand antihistamine. That was about 3 hours ago. I now have a headache, am stuffed up and feel like I have a fever. Would Excedrin be a good thing to take? I have either that or Ibuprofen and that's it.
Brief Answer:
yes. You can take this combination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
the excedrin contains NSAID and caffeine. This will help in reducing the inflammation and also pain due to inflammation. For itching, sneezing running nose loratidine will be good.
So for now you can take this combination for current illness. But if infection you may require antibiotic. Along with this do salt water gargle and steam inhalation. This will give maximum comfort.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Regards
