Can I take Fexofenadine and Pregabalin together?

Why this happens

This is an 'additive' effect. While fexofenadine is a non-drowsy antihistamine, it can still cause mild sleepiness in some people. Pregabalin commonly affects the central nervous system. When combined, their individual effects on your alertness can add together.

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should be cautious when you first start the combination. See how they affect you before driving or using machinery. If you feel very drowsy or dizzy, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
