AboutNigel Simmons Expertise I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised.
Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner.
I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question.
Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?

Question Is it okay to take both of these drugs. I took a clarinex at 11:00 A.M. Take zanax at night.
Answer LaRose
Apologies for a slow response, but I have been travelling to areas where I can't get a mobile signal.
There are no problems with taking the two products in the same day. While there is a very slim possibility that Clarinex (desloratidine) may cause some daytime sedation which could possibly be increased because of the Xanax, it is a very slim possibility.
