For Allergic Rhinitis "I have had postnasal drip and chronic cough, especially in the winter for at least 10 years. Scratchy throat, itchy ears, sore throat, and burns at times, facial pain, sneezing. I just got over what I thought was a sinus infection. I was still feeling bad, so I was doing some reading, and I read what Claritin can offer, so I tried it. Within an hour or so, my postnasal drip was a whole lot better, and my cough along with it. Now I am on day 5 of taking Claritin. I feel like I could go out dancing. I am sure it can only get better from here. Gosh, why didn't I try Claritin years ago?"

For Allergic Rhinitis "24-hour pill, and I still have 14 hours to go. Fluttering of the heart has made this drug very uninviting. Head is more stuffed now than when I started it. Not a very comfortable feeling. Headache, stuffy nose, jitters, and some stomach discomfort. Use caution."

For Allergic Rhinitis "This medicine does not work for me. Taken several times this year. My nose continues to ‘run.’ I won’t take it again, there are better antihistamines to use."
