Comparing Loratadine vs Montelukast

For Allergic Rhinitis: I found this helpful in relieving the excess production of mucous and the resultant post-nasal drip which caused an irritating and continuous need to cough up phlegm. However I have not been using it for very long (3 weeks at 1 tablet per day taken in the morning) and twice have experienced light-headedness requiring me to hang onto something and to sit or lie down before I fall down. I normally have fairly low blood pressure but not sufficient to feel I am about to faint.

For Allergic Rhinitis: LORATADINE Helps with my burning eyes, runny nose, etc. I take one in the morning and one nightly. I am 87.

For Asthma: Worked brilliantly to improve my asthma and my daughters asthma, who was also prescribed it. Unfortunately both my daughter and I, gained an incredible amount of weight whilst on the medication, which is terribly difficult to shed.

For Asthma: Day 4 of taking this and I decided to venture online to see if I’m crazy for feeling the way I feel. I feel as if I can breathe- but it feels difficult to. I have more anxiety - and fast heart rate. Before the medicine I would wake up with a lot of phlegm in my throat- I do wake up without any on this medicine. Yesterday I had bad thoughts about isolating myself from my family. Don’t think I will Continue this medicine. At the end of the day it’s chemicals we are putting into our bodies and nothing natural. Sometimes it would do more bad than good.
