My 25 year old daughter took claritin and dayquill at the same time this morning. Reactions may be what?
What happens when claritin and dayquill are taken together?

None of them have an antihistamine so this shouldn't be a problem.

Unless she took Claritin D then she might have gotten too much decongestant which could make her feel jittery and increase her heart rate. If it was plain Claritin, she should be fine because, as Kaismama pointed out, there is no antihistamine in Dayquil. The anithistamines are what cause the drowsiness and they do have antihistamines in the Nyquil formula.
