Avatar n tn Hello, Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
Avatar f tn m in Canada, and here it is not an OTC, one can buy it just of the shelf, Reactine comes regular and non-drowsy which is what I buy, I take the extra strenght one, the main ingredient in it is Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg/tablet, not many antihistamines work for me as they make me feel quite sick and even more dizzy but this one has worked for quite a while now so I haven't had to change it, another one I've tried that worked but didn't buy it regularly as it is more expensive is Ae
Avatar f tn Can i take any type of non drowsy allergy medicine. I took a 24 hr non drowsy generic brand of allegra before i was pregnant? Can i still take it? I really am having a tough time with allergies without any medicine.
Avatar f tn she needs to have an allergy test done, bless her heart also there is a non drowsy benedryl formula it is usually the blue dye free ones and it will say non drowsy on it that you can get for your daughter until you can figure something else out that way she's not sleeping all the time but also not itching all the time hope this helps
Avatar f tn m tired of being tired! Is anyone aware of any non drowsy allergy meds safe during the 2nd trimester???
5574172 tn?1376700381 Depends on how far along you are if you're in the first trimester it's ok to take light pain med or non drowsy allergy meds i just asked my Dr and he said it's ok. As far as being further along i don't know.
Avatar n tn Therefore, medicines like cetirizine may be needed indefinitely if symptoms are bad enough. Cetirizine is generally very well tolerated. You can look online for the list of possible side effects.

Avatar f tn Also wear long sleeved cotton clothes and take an umbrella with you while going out in the sun. You can take non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine or Loratadine(Claritin). Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms. You may take Vitamin C along with the prescribed treatment. Vitamin C is a general anti-allergy supplement. Also apply calamine lotion and a mild steroid cream like dermacort on the rash.
Avatar f tn I got itching when I just got 4 weeks pg, and my doc prescribed CETIRIZINE as well. My boy is now 15 month old, happy and healthy and I'm still taking it daily other wise I could not stand for the horrible itching.
Avatar n tn Call your Doctor and ask him/her if you can take claritin non drowsy... I've read a few articles that say you can. I take benadryl, even though it makes me super sleepy... Good luck!
Avatar f tn That's really a question for your ob as opinion can vary. But benedryl is a universally ok to use, although it'll probably make you drowsy lol.
Avatar f tn I get hives and I take something that is similar to zyrtec for it. Cetirizine 10mg given to me by my VA (veteran affairs) doctor. It's safe. Get well soon. I know the feeling and it *****.
Avatar m tn Hi....what your feeling is the withdrawals and is very tyiply common going by 5mg drops gets to be a bit much in the lower doses have you started on the 3 in 1 calcium/magnesum/zinc yet??
Avatar m tn Hello, From your symptoms, sun spots, sun burns and solar urticaria need to be ruled out. You can take non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine or Loratadine(Claritin). Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms. You may take Vitamin C along with the prescribed treatment.

Avatar f tn Thanks so much for your reply my friend x i'm very grateful you took the time to answer i will but some. Also re: Benadryl, it's been posted else where to use it for insomnia caused by Opiate withdrawral. At my Pharmacy they have 3 packet's one is yellow and the other one is blue if i remember correct. I did ask them which is the drowsy one but the assistant didn't know. The yellow box had non drowsy but nothing on the blue box.
Avatar f tn I am not sure if I have a head cold, or if it's just my allergies. As of right now I am in the process of switching doctors so I can't really make an appointment since my records are still in the process of being reviewed and transferred. I have just been dealing with it but my nose is so stuffed and my eyes are all watery and red, I am miserable. I'm not sure what to take.
