1: Pepcid (famotidine)
- When you drink with Pepcid, it interacts with alcohol, and blood levels of alcohol can get higher
- This can impair your ability to think, drive, and do other things
- In a breathalyzer test, the same amount of alcohol will produce a different alcohol level when taken with Pepcid
2: Sudafed (Pseudoephedrine)
- Sudafed can elevate the blood pressure, potentially off-setting blood pressure medications you may be taking
- In men with an enlarged prostate, Sudafed may interrupt urinary flow
3: Benadryl (diphenhydramine)
- Benadryl can cause side effects like dry mouth and confusion
Always make your doctor aware of all of the medications that you’re taking, including over-the-counter medications.
