Safe allergy meds to take with afib
Cetirizine approved by my GP
As per Buff afly but not sure what it might be called in USA as you have so many different drugs names. .
I’ve recently had patch tested for my potential pacemaker implant. One of the numerous things they said I tested positive for was Cetrizine.
Seeing there were numerous things I tested positive for I am not sure what the eventual outcome will be.

? 🤔
I have amended my typos 🙂.
I have multiple skin allergies and have challenged the doctors to assure me that I won’t have an allergic reaction to a pacemaker implant.
So far after 3 years we are no further forward as the pacemaker manufacturers are reluctant to provide info on the components of their products.

Pete I have to go down this route soon, I have various skin allergies one being to metal, can only wear gold or platinum, do you know if this is a problem.Cassie
As I said I have received no conclusive answers despite investigation is now three years from when my EP first suggested I needed a pacemaker. I also have pressure urticaria so am also concerned from that angle
I too am allergic to metals such as nickel hence my concern.
On a positive note the Dermatology Consultant has said skin allergy does not equal an allergic reaction to a pacemaker.
I am still asking questions.

In general any antihistamine that doesn't contain a vasoconstrictor like Sudafed or phenylephrine should be safe. Of course atypical reactions can occur with any drugThey're are many subtypes and it would be worth a achat with your pharmacist to see what they recommend
Personally I take Zyrtec in the spring without any problems. Etheral.
I take loratadine for hives, no ill effects
Loratadine didn't work for me, proof that we are all different. Cetirizine was prescribed by my doctor, and works.
Xyzal works great for me.
