Allergies can bring a lot of discomfort in your life. Seasonal allergies distract you from your daily routine and prevent you from focusing on more important things than a runny nose, sneezing, or itchy eyes. Many people who suffer from allergies are aware of all these manifestations of seasonal allergies and how they poison their lives. Using medications is the only way to reduce the symptoms of allergies. Usually, your doctor will prescribe the medicine that is right for you, but there are some medicines that you can get without a doctor’s prescription. One of them is Claritin, which helps to reduce the manifestation of seasonal allergies.

This is a quite effective medicine, but if you plan on drinking a glass of wine or another type of alcohol, you will have to give up this idea. Mixing alcohol and allergy drugs can seriously harm your health.

The active ingredient in Claritin is loratadine, which effectively fights the symptoms of seasonal allergies. However, this drug has an antihistamine effect and rarely causes drowsiness. Your immune system stops responding to the allergen, and your allergic symptoms diminish.

Doctors warn that both alcohol and Claritin affect the nervous system, and the combination of both components can overstrain your nervous system. If you do not adhere to the safety rules for using Claritin, you will get side effects such as dizziness, palpitations, drowsiness, and poor coordination of your movements.

Therefore, if you do not want to get drunk after the first glass, then do not mix alcohol and medicines. You not only reduce the effectiveness of the medicine but also harm your health.
