Is It Safe To Give Motrin, Azithromycin, Prednisone And Acetaminophen For Children?
Question: can I give Dimetapp cough and cold with Azithromycin and Prednisolone. she is also on Motrin and Acetaminophen
Brief Answer:
she's already taking an antihistamine drug
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
She can take it with azithromycin, prednisone and acetaminophen but motrin is an antihistamine drug and should not be taken along with another drug of the same kind. You've got to choose which one she will take. Dimetap contains an antihistamine, a drug for the cough and a decongestant.
I hope I've helped!
