What can I take for my hayfever/postnasal drip? I need something that will not make me sleepy through the day. Benadryl works for me but makes me so sleepy. Thanks

Thanks gcsmithjr 12-17-2007, 10:39 AM Claritin (Loratadine is the generic name) would be your best bet - it's available without a prescription and you can get the generic pretty inexpensively. It's a non-drowsy antihistamine and works for 24 hours at a time so you only have to take it once daily. Another option in 2008 will be Zyrtec (Cetirizine) which will be available without a prescription after the first of the year (but will probably be pretty expensive at first). I'd start with generic Claritin and see how that works for you. |
