Patient picks for Drug interactions

Treatment and medication
Can I take Acetaminophen and Levocetirizine together?
Taking paracetamol (acetaminophen) and levocetirizine together is generally considered safe. There are no known major interactions between these two medicines. However, both can occasionally cause drowsiness or tiredness in some people. If you experience these side effects, they may be slightly more noticeable when taking both medicines at the same time.

Treatment and medication
Can I take 1.0mg and Amlodipine together?
Taking sildenafil (Viagra) and amlodipine together can cause your blood pressure to drop lower than intended. This may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, faint, or cause a headache.
