Does Taking Orange Juice While Taking Corciden Hbp Cause Any Side Effects?
Question: Was taking corciden hbp for three days with no problems. Yesterday drank orange juice. Lips and both eyes are very swollen. Took benadryl still swollen. What do I do now
Brief Answer:
Stop Benadryl....Monitor only..They would resolve on Corcidin HBP!`
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these swollen eyes and lips that you have reported. These symptoms are suggestive of an allergy and benadryl is a good rug for this. However, you are already taking chlorpheniramine which does the same job as benadryl and therefore there is no need to add benadryl. For this reason, I will ask that you stop it. It is difficult to tell what the exact cause of this allergy was. Take note of all you interacted with yesterday so that if something like this ever happens in future, we can review the list to see what is common to both.
For now, observe only. These symptoms would resolve sooner than later. Continue corcidin and if there are any new fear, please let me know of.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
