Hello,

Another post from me! Does anyone take hayfever medication while on Sertraline and which types do you take (brands available in UK).

Many thanks.

      Yes, they do seem worse, but then I'd usually be taking nasal spray and eye drops by now. And yes, I've also had sniffy nose, dry throat etc.

      Great! I'll get some in, I usually take Beconase but haven't since being on this drug as I wasn't sure of the interaction. Thank you.
