Can I take Fexofenadine and Tizanidine together?

Why this happens

This is a 'pharmacodynamic' interaction. Both drugs can affect the central nervous system and have 'anticholinergic' properties (causing dryness). When taken together, their individual side effects can add up, making you feel more tired or dizzy than usual.

What you should do

You can take these medicines together, but you should be cautious. Monitor how you feel, especially when you first start the combination. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel particularly sleepy or dizzy. If these side effects become bothersome, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
