v quick ques - antihistamines and alcohol

Can you drink while taking anti-histamine tablets? Is it not advisable? What happens if you do? Tried to find out from the pharmacy but it was all in French and the old guy just kind of smiled. :confused:

Probably a stupid ques but thanks for your help!

Alcohol may intensify the sedation caused by antihistamines. so it can send you really drowsey/dizzy. might be best to advoid the drink

There is no problem drinking and taking antihistamines. I did it regularly last summer :smile:

. They were also the strongest tablets you could get on prescription.

It depends how you react to the particular antihistamine you're on. If you feel no different when you take them normally, then chances are you won't notice any difference if you drink on them. If you feel drowsy after taking them, then you'd best avoid alcohol because it'll probably make you more drowsy.
