Alternative For Claritin And Mucinex For Allergy Symptoms?

Hello, My friend has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, she is 61 years old, currently trying to get insurance. She takes claritin and mucinex for allergy symptoms. Side effects are a constantly upset stomach and nausea. Can you suggest an alternative for allergy symptoms and / or anything that might give her some relief?

Hi, thank you for posting at HCM.

I read your question very carefully.
You should take Virilix instead of Claritin.
In general I recommend Citirizina (Virilix) 10mg 1 pill a day.
Side effects of this medicine are minimized.
I can say that this medicine has a high anti-allergic effect.

Time by time you should take Omeprazole 20mg 1 pill a day(in the morning), 1 hour before you eat, to avoid stomachache.

Consult your allergist.

Take Care.
Dr. Behar.
