Because since I started taking my vitamin supplements in addition to my allergy medication ie clarinex, my allergies have become worse and I keep sneezing and I feel abit clogged up! any ideas?

Moochie asked:


Does Nasal Crom (the over the counter spray) affect allergy testing results? I am to be tested for allergies in 2 weeks and the doctor’s office said that I have to stop taking clarinex and the prescription steroid nasal sprays. But Nasal crom is over the counter and is not a steriod.

TV Junky asked:


I just got a cat and its just my luck that am allergic to it. When i started sneezing, I took clarinex and felt better.

I don’t wanna ask my doctor yet but can i take clarinex (or claritin for that matter) on a daily bases? or are there more effective pills for cat allergy that i can use?

I also take paxil as well, do these drugs counteract with each other?

D J asked:


I was just prescribed clarinex by my doctor. I think it’s one of those medicines, that take time to build up, before working.

I take 1 pill every 24 hour. 6pm is when I last took 1 tablet of clarinex.

In the day time, can I take claritin, or benadryl … 1 time, so that it can hold me off until 6pm ?

I’ve never had allergies this bad before, benadryl really sucks.

I had that drowsy feeling, but my mom bought it so I had to show my appreciation. It was my first time trying it. It helped a little, I guess !

Clarinex didn’t have any sleep affects, last summer claritin didnt make me tired either. So is it ok to take clarinex at night 6pm, and claritin in the morning, around 9am ?

Particularly those with a lot of side effects? I am taking 3 different prescription drugs and I am worried that they will effect my health in the long run. If your wondering what drugs they are, they are Topamax, Imitrex, and Clarinex.

Angeleyes asked:


Obviously I wouldn’t do this without speaking to my vet, but I am very curious if dogs can take Clarinex?

I have a dog who suffers from severe allergies. We’ve done immunotherapy and have him on a home cooked diet (for food allergies). However, when we visit family in the country he gets reactions that can take weeks to go away with help from our vet. We would give him benadryl beforehand, and it’s still bad. Our vet gave us an antihistamine that seems to start with “hydrox…” and the rest looks like chicken scratch. It works WAY better than benadryl for this reason (benadryl is fine for a slight allergic reaction at home, in the city… with way less grass and allergens).

I was wondering if Clarinex would work just the same as I have it for myself. We’ve filled prescriptions for him in the past that ended up being medication a family member or friend was on… so I was curious.
Please don’t write something stupid like “no no no” as I’m not giving this to my dog… I want to know the science behind it. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, simply don’t respond. I want to know what makes different antihistamines work so differently. Why are some okay for canines, and others aren’t? That’s all.
Wow… you don’t get it. I have medication for my dog that I get from my vet. Even he won’t understand the science behind it, most likely. If anyone here has a friggin’ brain… just answer. You two have been USELESS. Seriously, it’s hilarious how dumb people are and they just post answers to get points. Sickening losers.
THANK YOU! Goatwomen… finally a normal answer!
I know the dosage would be different, and I would never give this to my dog without knowing everything about it and speaking to my vet (getting a prescription for the dosage my dog would need, etc). I was just curious to know why one would work so great and another wouldn’t. Clarinex works great for me, and Benadryl really doesn’t- I guess because it’s weaker or is missing components that others have.

We’ve used creams on our dog before for allergic reactions (one bad time he sat on a couch that had febreeze sprayed on it! Got a really bad contact reaction!), and if we tell him not to lick… he won’t. However, lately his reactions appear in the ears- not an infection but irritation. So we wouldn’t want to put a cream in his ears. I also don’t want him on steroids regularly. We’ve been avoiding taking him to play with the other dogs out of the city because of this! Yes! That’s it… Hydroxyzine. I couldn’t make it out. Thank you mjblonde70!

I’m SOOO sorry about your Bullmastiff!

Thankfully because of the immunotherapy, where we live he is usually fine. So we don’t have to give antihistamines often. It’s when we go to the rural areas that he gets bad. So it would be better for us to give him something prior to avoid a reaction in the first place. I wasn’t aware that antihistamines need to be switched up, that’s a huge chunk of useful information to me!

Thankfully to date **knocks on wood** we haven’t had too many itching issues because of his diet (we give Omega 3’s, vitamin E, all natural home prepared meats, fruits and veggies… oh and yogurt, lol). Only the occassional environmental reaction.

Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it and will research this other OTC anithistamine as well.
