User Reviews for Claritin

Claritin seems to help for the first 2-3 day, but loses all effectiveness for me beyond that. All symptoms return.

I have taken Claritin for a number of years now. I have year round allergies and severe in season. I only take this when needed - I am not the take it as a preventative type. My experience is that Claritin is effective if taken on an empty stomach and when my allergies are on the mild to moderate side. If they are severe, it does not help.

Works great, no side effects.

I have tried it more than once. It was as if I took nothing. No help from taking it.

Slow to get going but lasts forever when activated.

I took Claritin on two occasions to alleviate stuffy head colds and runny nose. I took 2 pills, one each on successive days about a month apart, and a day after taking them experienced both times a bloody nose. I am an older adult and haven't had a bloody nose since I was a child.

This is the 2nd time in a month that I have suffered from dizziness and fatigue after taking Claritin. My blood pressure has dropped to 96/58 which is low even for me. I have always had lower than normal blood pressure. I last took Claritin on Thursday morning and this is Monday and can finally stand up without feeling dizzy.

Didn't do much for my allergies.

Helps for the first day, then symptoms return. Starting Zyrtec now.
