Suggest An Alternative To Zyrtec Tablets Prescribed For Allergy
Allergy season. So many different antihistamines on the market. I am stuffy every night. Zyrtec makes me tired into the next morning - even a half one. Claritin seems to help minimally. I am a 67 year old female about 115 pounds. I take amlopodine for high blood pressure so am reluctant to take a decongestant, though that is what I feel like I need. I think the ideal for me would be a 12 hour, time-release something to take only at night - maybe even a child sized dose. Any suggestions.?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, most of the allergic condition may not needs any treatment unless it is indicated for therapy and for that you need to get done some allergy test, till then better to avoid antihistamine mild attack of allergy may not need any treatment and it is self limiting hope this information helps.
