Do Antihistamines narrow blood veselles?!


Question: Do Antihistamines narrow blood veselles?
The reason i ask is because im on a calcium channel blocker that widens veseles and my pharmacist said it was okay to take with Clearatin/ benadryl however the website DRUGS.COM SAID IT WAS A MODERATE INTERACTION.

Answers:

There is no significant interaction between the meds you mentioned. Antihistamines have no significant effect directly on the blood vessels, although decongestants such as Sudafed do. You should avoid medications like Claritin D. The D stands for decongestant, and decongestants WILL rasie your blood pressure.
