Antihistamine OTC other than Benadryl?

[Merrida]

Are there any OTC antihistamines, other than Benadryl, available?

How about Rx's too?

And, are there any that do not have drowsiness as a side-effect?

There are tons of other antihistamines.
Brompheniramine (Dimetapp® Allergy, Nasahist B®)
Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton®)
Clemastine (Tavist-1®)
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl®)
Claritin is also available over the counter now and is pretty much the best one that does not have the side effect of drowsiness.
Prescription ones include Clarinex, Allegra and Zyrtec and flonase. Nasonex is also available without a prescription and Rhinocort inhalers are available with a script and often used to help with allergies.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many. I knew there were a lot of decongestants, but I thought benadryl was pretty much all there was other than zyrtec rx.

Thank you for the info!

Chlorpheniramine isn't a non-drowsy one.
