Can I take antihistamines when I am on Edoxaban blood thinners.

[redkaz]

I have been on Edoxaban for 3 weeks. I used to take a Claritin antihistamine every day before I started taking them for itching during menopause, I stopped taking them when I started Edoxaban but I am so itchy every night.

Your local pharmacist should be able to answer your question.

Check the information sheet that comes with each of these drugs. Interactions are always included on these sheets.

I take Edoxaban, and occasionally Claritin, and don’t recall any mention of interaction between them, but I don’t have the information sheets any more to double-check. You might find copies of the information if you search the drug names and look on the NICE website.

You are able to access an 'Intermediate gynaecologist clinic' for issues with menopause-itching is very common then, and if it's outside, a cream can help, but if it's inside then maybe a topical oestrogen like Vagirux tablet used twice a week will help a lot! Good luck.
