Can I take 20 and Zirtek allergy together?

Why this happens

Alcohol and cetirizine both affect the central nervous system. Even though Zirtek is a 'non-drowsy' antihistamine, it can still cause sleepiness in some people. Alcohol increases this effect, leading to greater impairment than if you took either one alone.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking Zirtek. Do not drive, use tools, or operate machinery if you have consumed alcohol with this medication, as your coordination and reaction times will be significantly reduced.
