Common Questions and Answers about Clarinex active ingredient

clarinex

Avatar n tn Claritin and Clarinex (they work very differently) might help. Claritin makes me light headed for 30 minutes, raises blood pressure a little but wears off after a few hours. Clarinex works better for me, lasts 14 hours on me. Both are pretty weak for antihistamines. Other than this there is a couple more that use the same med as Claritin, so same effect pretty much. The other antihistamines usually cause drowsyness. Don't know of too many nasal sprays with out steroids.

Avatar n tn There are products being sold that often contain a fraction of the active ingredient or they use a lot of filler in place of the active ingredient, which has no medicinal value at all.
Avatar f tn Scary stuff to be putting in your body.Mothballs are nearly 100% active ingredient, and the active ingredient may be either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon found in coal car or crude oil. Most products containing naphthalene in the U.S. are used to control clothes moths in airtight containers. Paradichlorobenzene is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a fumigant insecticide and repellent.

Avatar f tn my mom has been experiencing this weird outbreak of hives all over her body, and when she has an outbreak it seems to cause severe joint pain,but not in the same joints it kinda travels around.she has been to an allergist but they put her on predisone and clarinex and zantec but as soon as the pred. is done the rash seems to rehash and the clarinex and othe meds seem not to help at all.
Avatar f tn it says the active ingredient is Guiafensen 400mg
Avatar f tn Her OB and PCP told her that taking her clarinex was OK. She is miserable without it and right now has a wicked cold. I have been reading now that clarinex is OK to take and other sites saying it is not OK. She is 21 weeks right now. Why would they say it is OK if it isn't? Thanks for any info.
Avatar m tn In the meantime, i have switched allergy medication from Clarinex to Xyzal, which may also be helping a little. I now take the allergy medication before bed whereas before, I had been taking Clarinex in the mornings. I notice that the problem of too much mucus seems less prevalent in the mornings upon waking up. It worsens in the afternoon and evening, especially after meals. Again, thank you for your input, Dr. Rajput.
Avatar n tn I had a fungal infection on my skin that I treated with the active ingredient in jock itch cream, and it did almost nothing. I switched to the one for athlete's foot, with a different active ingredient, and that worked a charm. Here's a list of some of the common anti-fungals: https://www.nhs.
Avatar n tn Orlistat (active ingredient in Xenical) is also the active ingredient used in the weight loss aid - Alli, which is the first OTC weight loss aid, approved by FDA as safe and effective for weight loss. It does work and so far, seems to be safe. It works by blocking fat absorption. There are some unpleasant side effects if you don't eat properly, which is mainly avoiding fat. The main side effect is uncontrollable, oily, runny stools, if too much fat is consumed.
Avatar n tn Hi, some stool softeners are safe for kitties. In fact, my vet has my kitty on Docusate Sodium. That's the active ingredient in Colace and some other brands. Take a look at the medicine bottle and if that's the only ingredient you see.....then I promise you...kitty will be fine. BTW, I've had the liquigel melt in my cats mouth(apparently, I didn't get it down her throat all the way).....and she did that salivating, too. She was not a happy camper in the least.
Avatar f tn I use unisom sleep tabs. I've taken them since the very beginning and I'm now 38 weeks. The active ingredient is doxylamine. Just check the box because unisom also has a kind with diphenhydramine as the active ingredient and that's just benadryl and doesn't work as well. The doxylamine is actually commonly paired with b6 for morning sickness as well. I have had barely any nausea issues since I've been taking it. It works well!
Avatar m tn Levothyroxine is the generic name; Synthroid is a brand name. Both contain the same medication (active ingredient), but can vary in the fillers (inactive ingredients).
Avatar n tn those cutting brand tdf and etv in two are exposed to resistance and treatment failure because active ingredient is not homogeneous in the pills, so even if you cut pill perfectly in half you won t get half dose active ingredient
Avatar n tn First is the cough from a problem in side or something you are breathing in? A good test I use is a HEPA filted mask. (the kind you can get in the hardware store with canisters). Wearing that for 5 minutes should clear up the mucus quite a bit if it is something you are breathing in. Easy test and takes only 5 minutes. Try a deep breath with the mask on after 5 minutes and see if you still feel like coughing.
Avatar f tn Excedrin PM contains the same active ingredient as Tylenol and also has Diphenhydramine, which is also the same ingredient as Benedryl - it is a common ingredient in OTC sleeping aids. The regular Excedrin contains caffeine, which could make you jittery, but the PM version does not contain caffeine. Unisom is the OTC brand that contains doxylamine succinate, both sleep aids are essentially anti histamines that cause drowsyness.
Avatar f tn You should be ok to use it. the active ingredient is menthol which is not feto-toxic nor does it absorb thru blood stream. Be safe and call your OB real quick and ask.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have read that the active ingredient in Valtrex is L-Valine. L-Valine is available at health food stores/vitamin shops and is much cheaper and obviously less embarrassing to buy than valtrex. My questions are: 1. Is L-Valine, by itself, as shown on the link below an equivalent treatment for HSV2? http://www.nutrabio.com/Products/valine.htm?gclid=CODz25DJi6MCFQ1HnQodTxZtYA 2. The web also states, L-Valine Ester...
Avatar f tn I had actually questioned a pharmacist on this and was told you do not want to use any cough drops that have 'menthol' as the active ingredient. You want to find one with 'pectin', like Luden's.
