DRUG INTERACTIONS
Antihistamines have additive effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers, antianxiety agents, etc.). MAO inhibitors prolong and intensify the anticholemic (drying) effects of antihistamines. MAO inhibitors may enhance the effects of phenylpropanolamine. Sympathomimetics may reduce the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
