Posso tomar Cetrizina e Duloxetina juntos?

Por que isso acontece

Both medications can affect the central nervous system. While cetirizine is a 'non-drowsy' antihistamine, it can still cause sedation in some people. Duloxetine also has sedative properties. When used together, these effects add up (an additive effect). Additionally, both drugs can have mild 'anticholinergic' effects, which lead to symptoms like dry mouth.

Use this combination with caution. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how these medicines affect you together. Limit or avoid alcohol, as it will make the drowsiness much worse. If you feel excessively sleepy or dizzy, speak to your doctor about adjusting your dose or timing.

Suicidal thoughts and behaviours

This medicine can cause an increase in suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviours, particularly when first starting treatment or changing the dose. Monitor your mood closely and seek immediate medical help if you notice any distressing changes.

Abrupt discontinuation (Withdrawal)

Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly. Doing so can cause severe withdrawal symptoms such as electric shock sensations (brain zaps), dizziness, and tremors. Your dose must be reduced gradually under medical supervision.

Drowsiness and alcohol interaction

Both medicines can cause drowsiness, and taking them together significantly increases this effect. Avoid alcohol, as it will further impair your alertness and ability to drive or operate machinery safely.

Álcool

Both cetirizine and duloxetine can cause drowsiness. Drinking alcohol while taking these medicines can increase this effect, making you feel more sleepy or less alert. Additionally, heavy alcohol use combined with duloxetine may increase the risk of liver damage.
