Allergy medication

My daughter has seasonal allergies. She currently receives remicade infusions and methotrexate shots every Saturday night. I would like to know if it is safe to give claritin or benadryl.

You can ask her doctor for her specific history of this is permitted.
Everyone is different
Allied should be run past the doc

I can tell you Ds has been on multiple allergy meds since age two
Including Zyrtec /singulair /Benadryl/dymista/parabola combo

My son is on claritan for seasonal allergies and remicade. Benadryl is often given as a pre-med for infusion but always best to check with the doctor.

My kiddo is allowed to take Zyrtec or Benadryl as needed for seasonal allergies. She is on a biologic and an immunomodulator.

I would definitely check with her allergist/pediatrician - whoever is managing her allergies.
