It is cold, the holiday season is in the air, and after New Year’s day my nose is dying of allergic rhinitis because of the fireworks’ gunpowder blasts. I am already using my reliable nasal spray but I guess this just was not enough.
Since I really did not want to fall into a deep stupor from antihistamines (like Benadryl, or Alnix, that almost put me into a sleeping frenzy), I really have to use another type of antihistamine that does not induce sleep. And then there’s Claritin, generic name Loratadine.
Claritin tab is really for symptoms of allergies. So whether I
suffer from hives, allergic rhinitis, or anything related to allergic reactions and do not want to waste the whole day sleeping in, this is the best medication for me. Each small, white tablet contains only 10mg of Loratadine, and this is just enough for use once a day. That is how potent this medicine is. Imagine only being used once daily! This medication can be taken in an empty or full stomach, which is great because the moment that I feel my nose itching and before it gets worst, I do not really have to worry about getting something to munch ...
