Can I take Benadryl if I am taking Cipralex?

Question

I think I have allergies, it's the first time it's happened to me and it's very uncomfortable (watery eyes, runny nose, sore throat). I take Cipralex 10mg. Can there be any interaction between this medication and Benadryl? Thank you for your help!

There are no interactions between these 2 drugs On the other hand, depending on your symptoms, I suggest an anti-allergic such as Reactin or Claritin, which in addition to having a longer effectiveness than Benadryl, will not cause you drowsiness.
