Answers:
Robitussin CF is a dangerous and stupid drug because it combines a cough suppressant and an expectorant!. With expectorants, you have to cough to make it work!. Taking that combination will actually increase your risk for infection!. It also has phenylephrine, an ineffective decongestant!.
Claritin can be safely taken with the medication!.
If your nose is stuffed just take pseudoephedrine!. Claritin does not help with stuffy noses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I routinely take Claritin and an decongestant/antihistamine (like Robitussin CF) when I have a cold!. Claritin is pretty mild as far as drugs are concerned and doesn't have much in the way of drug interactions!. If you are really concerned, and can't call the pharmacy, you can also get answers by calling your local hospital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
