Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Citirizine has no effect on blood sugar levels. They do not also affect the action of the other medications that your father is taking. It is totally safe to be taken. Feel free to continue the treatment as prescribed. If there are any specific changes that you have noticed, report them to your doctor but they would most likely not have been caused by this medication.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information should need be.
