Can I take Fexofenadine and Losartan together?

Why this happens

Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that is mostly removed from the body unchanged by the kidneys and liver. Losartan is a blood pressure medication processed by specific liver enzymes (CYP2C9 and CYP3A4). Because they use different pathways in the body and do not affect each other's absorption or action, they do not interfere with one another.

You can take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. However, always monitor your blood pressure regularly and be aware that some hay fever symptoms can occasionally feel like the side effects of blood pressure medicine (such as dizziness). If you feel unwell, consult your pharmacist or GP.
