Brief Answer:
No known interactions

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Zyrtec is a non drowsy antihistamine, there are no known interactions with doxepin according to professional drug checker.

It can interact with some drowsy antihistamine such as Benadryl but currently no known interactions with Zyrtec.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions.
