Can I take Fexofenadine and Trazodone together?

Why this happens

Both medications can affect the central nervous system. Trazodone is a sedative antidepressant, and fexofenadine, although designed not to enter the brain easily, can occasionally cause mild drowsiness. When used together, these effects can combine (additive effect).

What you should do

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should be aware of how they affect you. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this combination makes you feel. If you experience extreme sleepiness or feel very unsteady on your feet, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
