Benepali and Antihistamines

[James53]

Hi

Hay fever strikes!

Does anyone know if I can take antihistamines whilst on Benepali?

Thanks folks

I've never thought about it, I'm taking mine whilst on Toczilimab with no ill effects.

I take enbrel and also antihistamines with no issues. Clemmie

The antihistamine I take is Fexofenadine 180mg which is especially for skin issues ( I have terribly itchy skin which drives me crazy!) Clemmie

Hi James

Im either allergic to Hydroxychloroquine or Etanercept ( Benepali or Enbrel) Its hard to identify which one.

Anyway, I was prescribed by my GP the ability to take up to 50mg daily of Cetrizine Hydrochloride ( Benadryl) which is 5 times the dosage recommended for hay fever.

Ive settled on aprox 20 mg which I take with each dose of Hydroxychloroquine and I take an extra a tihistamine the day of my Benepali Jab.

So the answer to your question is that in my experience the two are fine together.

Good luck with your hay fever, poor you.
