Is is safe to take over-the-counter hay fever treatments if taking ACE inhibitors and beta blockers ?
Most hay fever remedies contain antihistamines. In general, there should not be major interactions with either ACE inhibitors or beta blockers, the exception being sotalol which can interact with some antihistamines to cause heart rhythm problems. Caution should also be exerted if you have a history of heart rhythm problems. Alternatives include remedies that are administered directly into the nose as these generally have few side effects elsewhere in the body.
