Will Claritin Affect Anything Else In An Old Man?

My 85 yr old father too 4-5 claritin 24 hour allergy pills for his asthma yesterday. He has a full chest and had a very hard time breathing yesterday and is today still. He has COPD and asthma is on many inhalers. Will the claritin affect anything else he is doing?
He has a nebulizer I have to set up again for him can he take it?
