Can any one tell if it is okay to take these together please?
I have previously been prescribed Cetirizine and Piriton together after a bad reaction, but my GP has now switched me to Fexofenadine as the Cetrizine has been getting less effective. I am on one tablet a day, which I have split into two doses because I was waking up itching in the night.
I've not been too bad lately, apart from terribly itchy eyes and the odd rash, but yesterday had a reaction to Aldi's Bucks Fizz (classy!).... I'm sure it was that, label stated 'contains sulphates' which some, but not all, wines that contain sulphates give me a reaction.
I had my usual bright red blotchy rash on face, neck and chest which feels prickly and hot. i took my 'bedtime' dose earlier and that seemed to settle the rash for a while. Most of today I have had this rash and prickly feeling, I had stomach pains and wind during the night and all day I have pretty major itching on face, neck, shoulders, ears, eyes, scalp. And a sore throat.
So, I'd like to take another antihistamine, but not sure if Piriton would be okay or not? Or would it be better to take a higher dose of Fexofenadine..........I will obviously be going to the GP tomorrow, but itchiness is driving me mad!
TIA
