Brief Answer:
Yes, you may safely take these medications. A review is recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. You can use Zyrtec (cetirizine) for hay fever. Zantac (ranitidine) is used for reducing acidity.

2. You should consider a review as Allergra (fexofenadine) and Claritin (loratidine) are also equally potent anti-allergic medications.

3. These medications are safe to take with Vyvnase and Adderall. Here again i would recommend a review as both these medications are similar. Some of your symptoms may be side effects of these medications.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
Dryness from the anti-allergy, Vyvnase,Adderal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for writing back.

1. The nasal dryness is a side effect of any anti - allergic medication that you are taking (Zyrtec, Allegra or Claritin).

2. In addition, the Vyvnase and Adderal will also cause nasal irritation when taken together. This may be the cause of your nasal discharge and sneezing.

3. In such cases, there will be no response to anti - allergy medication anti and the side effect of dryness in the nose, mouth and throat will make symptoms persist.

4. Hence, instead of self medication, consult a physician who can review your medication.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
