Can Claritin Be Taken Along With Cymbalta?

Posted on Tue, 13 Oct 2015

Question: Is it safe for me to take Claritin when I'm on 60mg Cymbalta? Since about a week after starting the Cymbalta, I've had sinus drainage & severe sore throat that gets worse at night. Thank you.

it is safe to take them both.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

There is no significant interaction between Claritin and Cymbalata.This means that it is safe to take these drugs together.
Your symptoms can be related to allergy.You can try Claritin 10 mg once a day and if your symptoms don't improve consult your doctor.

Please feel free to ask for every question you might have.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
