Allergy medicine and coumadin

[Zoeey2011]

Hi, I would like to know if anyone suffers from allergies and if so what meds are you taking that are safe to take while on coumadin.

Thanks

I have taken many allergy medications. Some where Rx but mostly "over the counter" without much interaction. I would check with your PCP and/or pharmacist about possible interactions.

I use Claritin for colds and allergies.

I was given a list by my cardiologist and it says it's okay to use chlortrimeton, Claritin and Zyrtec. I bought OTC chlortrimeton (CVS brand) and have been using it with no problems.
Always best to ask first though.

There's a sticky note in the Anticoagulation forum here with a link to check drug interactions, both OTC and Rx.
