: i started getting heart palpatations. i suggested to my dr that it might be the claritin. he disagreed and said it was cardiac. when i quit taking claritin for the winter, the heart palps went away. now its almost allergy season again. im wondering if anyone else had to switch from claritin. i cant live with either condition.

My 14 year old son takes Claritin almost every day. I never heard of any side-effects. Is it safe for my child?
