Allergy season is upon us. What have you found to be the OTC antihistamine with the fewest side effects?

Question

Along with the best effectiveness, of course.

Answer 1

Sudafed Nondrying Allergy / Sinus is the best, non drowsy, and it works fast. I have been using this for years. If I get a sinus headache I take 1 excedrin migraine and 1 sudafed sinus and it's gone. Try it.

Answer 2

Great question!

Depending on the severity of the allergy season, two items have helped me:

1) Loratadine (OTC tablet)
2) Quercetin (OTC supplement)

If I need instant relief, I take the Loratadine. If I want a natural antihistamine and have time to build up my immunity before allergy season really hits, I take the Quercetin tablets or eat a large apple. Apples are a natural souce of Quercetin.

Answer 3

Husband suffers with allergies and has recently switched from Claritin to Zyrtek and is quite pleased with the results. Always

Answer 4

From one allergy sufferer to another :OTC Clartin or Claritin D!

Answer 5

My girls use Claritin. This OTC medication is effective for 24 hours and doesn't make you drowsy. It works great.......just take it once a day.

Answer 6

Antihistamine make the allergy to be under the skin temporarily
but not treat it. So it makes next allegy symptoms to be more sever.
Narural herbal treament are strongly requested.
