I've been giving my 4 year old Claritin every morning for a while now, her doctor just gave us some Nasonex. Can I give her both in the same day?
Yes Nasonex is used with Allergy medicine. My DD takes Allegra twice a day and Flonaise (sp). I like Nasonex better but our insurance doesn't cover it any more. Using Allergy mists with a allergy med is perfectly fine.
Yes, I've taken both. Claritin and Nasonex are different chemicals and affect our body in different ways. Claritin is a long acting antihistamine that affects the whole body while Nasonex is a steroid and treats only the nasal passages.
You should've asked her doctor that. I don't know the answer to that one without googling it, sorry. I doubt the doctor would tell you to give two medications together if they aren't compatible, but still, you need to ask the doctor.
My son takes Zyrtec when he uses Nasonex.
I want to say yes right away because my doctor gave them both the me at the same time. Apparently they work together, but in a 4 year old, I would call your pharmacist or a 24 hour pharmacy and see what they say. I would think its ok, but double checking is good.
There are no interactions to be concerned with here. Yes, give them both the same day.
