"I took Claritin on two occasions to alleviate stuffy head colds and a 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."

"I was expecting this to have some sort of side effect, but it’s just given me more of a placebo effect. I do have trouble sleeping, but it’s because I sleep with a toddler in my bed, am a very light sleeper, and my mind is always racing over stupid stuff like my most recent heartbreak, so I would not attribute my sleep issues to Claritin, nor am I more or less thirsty than usual. It does seem to do something subtle and lessen the severity of my allergies, but honestly, I don’t notice much difference. What I plan to do is get a Neti pot, steam inhaler, and air purifier and have them be a part of my daily regimen. I used to surf and be in the saltwater daily, and my lifestyle has changed. It is only since I stopped surfing that I am an allergy sufferer! So I believe salt water is the cure and keeping active and drinking tons of water."

"Everyone in my family has allergies. We recently moved into an old house and cleaned what needed to be cleaned, and we stopped Claritin because it was no longer helping us. Allergies were situational. That being said, the one time it genuinely helped me was when I burnt my throat from vomiting and had a sore throat at the same time, and I NEEDED a dry mouth because of excess saliva from injury. I found Claritin made everyone in my family snore too, but possibly that happened before taking it. I would say it interacts with other meds that make you drowsy, even though websites say it doesn't."

"This product doesn’t work at all on me, and it’s 24 hours, so I can’t take another pill to help me. Currently, my sinuses are so stuffed I can’t breathe."

"Stay away from this. It nearly took my life, it gave me severe suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and weakness. How is this drug even legal!"

"Works wonderfully for both 16 yo and myself for allergy to our new pug. No sneezing, no watery eyes. Expensive at $18 for a 24 pack, so tried Equate Walmart generic, which didn’t work at all."
