Can I take 0.18mg and Chlorpheniramine together?

Why this happens

Both medicines affect the central nervous system and have 'anticholinergic' effects. When taken together, their sedating and drying effects add up, making the side effects much stronger than if you took either medicine alone.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. If your doctor confirms you can take both, do not drive or operate machinery, as your coordination and reaction times will be significantly slowed. Avoid alcohol completely, as it will make the sleepiness much worse.
