General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I have read your question and I see no cause for concern. Claritin and Methylphenidate do not interact together. It may be that your grandson is missing his parents or some other issues with his friends or something he saw on TV.
But I repeat that you don't have to concern about drug interactions.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish your grandson good health!
