Can Loratadine Be Taken While On Metoprolol And Digoxin?

My 85 year old husband is on 50 mg of Metoprolol Succ ER 1X/day and 125 mg Digoxin 1X/day. He had a pacemaker installed 5 1/2 months ago. Are their any adverse interactions if he also takes an allergy relief medication that contains Loratadine (10 mg)?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Loratidine can potentially interact with digoxin.

It increases its levels and effects.

Fexofenadine (allegra) and cetirizine (zyrtec) do not interact so one of these can be used instead.

I hope this helps
