Common Questions and Answers about Taking claritin and zyrtec together

zyrtec

Avatar f tn Clartin, zyrtec and benadryl are fine. I would also recommend using a neti pot. It takes a couple of tries to get use to but it does help.
Avatar f tn Okay. Thank you!
1274661 tn?1301868321 t want to try the claritin-D because it is a decongestant and they make me feel crazy and just seem to drain everything into my chest. Maybe I can ask about taking regular claritin in the morning and zyrtec at night. May I ask what you are and were taking? Did you notice any improvement with this issue after your surgery?
Avatar n tn I was also advised to take Zyrtec and wondered if Zyrtec had any more benefit for skin reactions thank Claritin. Claritin didn't help at all. Two dermatologists suggested Zyrtec over Claritin . I hesitate to try the Zyrtec as I took it once a few years ago and promptly feel into a deep sleep. If it is better for the skin than Claritin can it be taken at night and do any good? Your help is greatly appreciated. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn Check with the doctor but he will more than likely firmly recommend Claritin and warn against Benadryl. keep us posted.
Avatar f tn My doctor was OK with me taking zyrtec. You just have to make sure to drink lots and lots of water.
7945295 tn?1397658820 Do any of you lady's take zyrtec for allergies? I don't like taking anything period but my allergies are sever. I claritan with my son but I feel like zyrtec works better. I was told its just as safe but figured I'd see what you lady's take.
Avatar f tn Zyrtec is the safest and one of the most effective allergy meds - deals with more allergens than claritin I use the zyrtec eye drops (i've only had itchy eyes lately) and Sinus Rinse - clears and prevents congestion. It took me a long time to get over the idea of squirting water up my nose, but it is totally worth it.
1472764 tn?1287588186 My OB said I can take Benedryl, Claritin or Zyrtec (I am allergic to Claritin and Zyrtec gives me headaches so am taking Benedryl). Allegedly, Chlor-trimeton is safe until the 3rd trimester (that is what I usually take) but I decided it is better safe and sleepy with Benedryl :) My nurses' drug book lists them all as Pregnancy Category B, the same as Tylenol.
Avatar m tn Never was able to find a cause but my doctor had be start taking an everyday allergy medication like Zyrtec or Claritin. Once I started that the hives went away and haven't came back. I would first see if you can find a common irritant you can eliminate. If not try taking Zyrtec or Claritin.
Avatar n tn Hi, the drugs you have mentioned are Histamine H1 Antagonist, belonging to Second Generation. These are newer anti histaminics which are devoid of sedation. That is the main advantage over the first generation anti histamines. Both are mainly used in treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis and treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria. Headache and drowsiness are side effects seen with loratidine. Whereas headache and vomiting with fexofenadine.
Avatar f tn started taking zyrtec, seemed to help a little but starts up again so i also started taking zantac along with the zyrtec. i am still getting some hives and itching but now for about the past 3-4 wks now i'm also getting nausea, please help!
Avatar f tn I'm currently 36 weeks. I would be feeling pretty good and was up until about three days ago. The pollen in the air is making me so sick! I am so plugged up that breathing is incredibly difficult on top of having this belly. The pregnancy alone or the allergies alone would be fine, but together I just want to quit my job and lady in bed crying all day. I've been taking zyrtec, benadryl at night. I've even tried sudafed pe.
11928313 tn?1437358907 My doctor said zyrtec and claritin is safe but if worried call your doctor or a pharmacist they can tell you what is safe
Avatar f tn t on the printed list from my OB but she told me it was safer than Claritin. I had been taking Zyrtec daily before I found out I was pregnant, she said Zyrtec is one of the only drugs safe in the first trimester. Benadryl is on the avoid in first trimester list.
959034 tn?1253671476 I am taking zyrtec starting tomorrow. I would try it and see what it does for you. I am hoping it works for me, I pray it works!! Try it out!! It is safe, yes, but it 'can' make you a little drowsy, but nothing major. It's safe to take, and will not 'up' your blood pressure. Let me know if it helps you and ill do the same. If not, I don't know what i will do...
Avatar f tn I've been on Claritin/Zyrtec my whole pregnancy. I know Claritin is approved, I believe Zyrtec is fine too.
Avatar f tn I take Claritin and Zyrtec and I still get stuffy at night. It's frustrating because I'm either blowing all day and stuffy at night. I sneeze a lot and constantly blowing. I sometimes get extremely dried out and I can't take it. I also use netti pot, nasal spray and nothing helps. Any other suggestions. It seems everytime I get pregnant my smell sensitivity heightens to the extreme. Thanks for any help.
Avatar f tn I have bad allergies which is causing the coughing and they said I can use Claritin, Zyrtec or Allegra. Claritin does absolutely nothing for me, so I asked what about Claritin D and it has been linked to birth defects--- so thats a no... I tried zyrtec and still no relief... my body is intolerant to Allegra... so I just have to suffer until baby is out and I can go back on my allergy shots (which will be after I stop BF'ing)--- the worst part about it...
1646392 tn?1333251893 I am 14.5 weeks pregnant. I have had problems with congestion since 8 weeks. Since about 11 weeks, it has been unmanageable. I have done sinus rinses, nose strips, sudafed, benedryl at night, vicks rub, and zyrtec. I can get about two hours of sleep at night before I wake up with my nose running and nose clogged. My husband has started sleeping the guest room because I keep him up at night. I tend to go through a roll of toilet paper blowing my nose in two to three nights.

7165624 tn?1395647767 I was told by my doctor that you can take just about anything but to stay away from the d. Take Claritin but not Claritin D, etc... Look for that d word on any sinus or allergy meds.
Avatar f tn My allergies were TERRIBLE when I was pregnant, I didn't like taking Benedryl because I don't like the drowsy/tired feeling but you can take Claritin and also I took plain Sudafed. But definitely consult your doctor.
Avatar n tn and should i see a doctor befor taking antihistaminics like benadryl or Claritin or zyrtec or should i just buy them and check it out?
10366239 tn?1409616907 I suffer from terrible allergies. Most days I try to avoid taking meds but days like today my eyes are watering, I can't breathe, my throat itches, and my gums are swollen. What kinds of allergy medicine do you use that might be safer than others? If I have to take it I want to make sure I take the safest kind.
