Allegra - Non Drowsy Seasonal allergies may make you feel like you're missing out on all the fun-but Allegra can help you get out and more fully enjoy your world.TM Allegra 60 mg-one taken twice daily-provides a full 24-hours of nondrowsy relief of seasonal allergy symptoms in patients 12 and over. The most commonly reported adverse experiences for Allegra 60 mg and placebo are: cold and flu (2.5% vs. 1.5%), nausea (1.6% vs. 1.5%), menstrual pain (1.5% vs. 0.3%). Don't miss out-let Allegra help you get out and start enjoying the world around you. Allegra- D AllegraŽ (fexofenadine HCI) works on the following seasonal allergy symptoms in patients 12 and older: your itchy, watery eyes, plus sneezing and runny nose. But if you find your nose is stuffed up too, you should ask your doctor about Allegra-D. Allegra-D has the same antihistamine as Allegra with the added relief of a decongestant. Because Allegra-D contains pseudoephedrine (the decongestant in most over-the-counter allergy medicines), Allegra-D must not be taken if you are also taking MAO inhibitors (medicines that treat depression) or within 14 days of stopping such treatment or if you retain urine or have glaucoma, severe high blood pressure, or severe heart disease. Also, let your doctor know before you take Allegra-D if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function, or symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as difficulty urinating. The most commonly reported adverse experiences with Allegra-D compared to Allegra alone were headache (13.0% vs 17.4%), insomnia (12.6% vs 13.3%), and nausea (7.4% vs 5.0%). BACK TO TOP BACK TO PRODUCT PAGE Claritin Important Safety Information The most common side effects with CLARITINŽ (loratadine) Tablets 10 mg occurred about as often as they did with a sugar pill, including headache, drowsiness, fatigue, and dry mouth The most common side effects with CLARITINŽ (loratadine) Syrup 10mg/10mL for children 2 to 5 years of age were diarrhea, nosebleeds and sore throat. In patients 6 years of age and older, side effects included nervousness, wheezing, fatigue and hyperactivity. CLARITINŽ REDITABSŽ (loratadine rapidly-disintegrating tablets) 10 mg are well tolerated, with a low occurrence of side effects. Side effects in adults resembled those seen with CLARITIN Tablets (headache, drowsiness, fatigue, and dry mouth) and were similar to those with a sugar pill. CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR (10 mg loratadine/240 mg pseudoephedrine sulfate, USP) Extended Release Tablets are safe to take as prescribed: one tablet daily for people ages 12 and up. In studies, dry mouth was the most commonly reported side effect. Other side effects including drowsiness and sleeplessness occurred about as often as they did with a sugar pill. CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR (5 mg loratadine/120 mg pseudoephedrine sulfate, USP) Extended Release Tablets are safe to take as prescribed: one pill every 12 hours for people ages 12 and up. In studies, sleeplessness and dry mouth were the most commonly reported side effects. Other side effects including headache, drowsiness, and nervousness occurred about as often as they did with a sugar pill. Some people should not take CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR or CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR. If you have a history of difficulty in swallowing tablets or any medical problems associated with swallowing abnormalities, you should not take CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR. Due to pseudoephedrine (the decongestant in CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR and CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR tablets and many over-the-counter allergy medications), you should not take CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR or CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR if you have glaucoma (abnormally high pressure in your eyes), difficulty urinating, severe high blood pressure, severe heart disease, or are taking MAO inhibitors (certain prescription medications that treat depression). Some people need to be especially careful using CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR or CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR. Always take CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR with a full glass of water. Also, the tablets must not be chewed or broken. Check with your healthcare provider before taking CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR or CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR if you have high blood pressure; diabetes; heart disease; increased intraocular pressure (eye pressure); thyroid, liver, or kidney problems; enlarged prostate; or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing a baby. You shouldn't take CLARITIN-DŽ 24 HOUR or CLARITIN-DŽ 12 HOUR with any other antihistamines and decongestants, as too much pseudoephedrine sulfate can cause nervousness, sleeplessness, dizziness, and other related side effects.

BACK TO TOP BACK TO PRODUCT PAGE Zyrtec (Reactine) Zyrtec (Cetirizine 10mg) is the only leading prescription antihistamine approved to treat both year-round indoor and outdoor allergies, chronic itching and hives in adults and children as young as 2 years. Zyrtec provides effective relief for itchy, runny nose; sneezing; itchy, red, and watery eyes; and postnasal drip. Zyrtec also reduces chronic hives and their associated itching. Zyrtec is an antihistamine. When you come in contact with a substance you are allergic to, your body produces a chemical called histamine. It is histamine that causes your symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, or runny nose. Zyrtec helps block the effects of histamine to relieve these symptoms. Zyrtec has been available in the U.S. since 1996 and outside the U.S. since 1987. It is available in 100 countries. Zyrtec can be taken by those people who suffer from year-long indoor and/or outdoor allergies, no matter what allergies make up their unique allergy profile. (If you are sensitive to any ingredients in Zyrtec, or to a drug called hydroxyzine [AtaraxŽ], you shouldn't take Zyrtec.) Zyrtec studies showed that people with allergies and mild to moderate asthma can take Zyrtec for their allergies without worsening their asthma symptoms. You should discuss your asthma treatment with your doctor. If you have liver or kidney problems, they could affect how much Zyrtec you need to take. If you are pregnant or nursing, you should seek the advice of a doctor or healthcare professional before taking any medication. In Zyrtec studies, side effects were mild or moderate and included drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth in adults and drowsiness, headache, sore throat and stomach pain in children. Drowsiness occurred in between 11% and 14% in adults, depending on dose, compared to 6% taking placebo (sugar pill). In children, drowsiness occurred in between 2% and 4%, depending on dose, compared to 1% taking placebo.
