Hi,

The antihistamines of XXXXXXX selzer plus cold and flu can cause drowsiness and dizziness when taken along with gabantin and zoloft. Besides this unwanted side effects, there is no significant drug interactions with aforementioned medicines.

You need to discuss with your treating doctor before taking the pill. In addition, if you are alone at home, it is better to avoid the pill.

Try stem inhalation. It helps.
