User Reviews for loratadine oral

MY boyfriend seems to love it so much and plus I dont have to hear him sneeze anymore. lol

i have suffered from spring allergies for 8 yrs.I think claritin owrks best for people newly diagnosed with it or those with light to moderate symptoms.For severe allergy like mine zyrtec works best. I had to switch to claritin due to pregnancy and am miserable as it doesn't clear nasal congestion but actually leaves me breathless esp at night. doesn't do much for the red eyes too..but it did help my 3 yr old daughter.for adults i recom zyrtec

After taking this medication on a daily basis for over 10 years for nasal, eye allergies I began to retain excessive water in my body along with difficulty in breathing at night. I stopped taking it for a few days and the water weight got better immediately and the trouble with the chest congestion (dry cough) is getting better.

I had an allergic reation to it, surprisingly. This not te first time I hve tken iotfo itchy throat and seasonal allergies. I had extreme dizziness, nausau, heart palpatations, and shirtness of breathe. Call your doctor if this happens! I ended up in the ER.

I've taken Loratadine for a month trying to eliminate the fluid behind my ear. I quit taking it 2 nights ago, after awakening during the previous night with a very fast heart beat (and this was not the first time). I tried to think what was different in my life - food, medicine, activities, stress, etc. that might cause my heart to be flying and suddenly it hit me, the something different was taking Loratadine. I came to this web site to check the side effects of this medication. I was shocked. For the past month, I've experienced dizziness, unexplained weight gain, stomach cramps, unusual sweating, and rapid heart beat, all of which are listed as side effects of Loratadine. I won't be taking it any more - and it hasn't helped my ear at all. Read More Read Less

I had itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, and I was sneezing uncontrollably. My pharmacist recommended this and it worked perfectly. Very cheap and very effective, good pick.

Utilized to fight against allergies on a daily basis. Works wonders and is inexpensive.

I was taking Drixoral until they took it off the market. After taking Claritin for about 1 month I started getting sores in both corners of my mouth and in my nasal cavity. I stopped taking it and the sores went away.

My doctor prescribed Claritin RediTabs for my sinus congestion, but since I also have Granuloma Annulare with itching, the doctor said it may help with my itching. Boy, has it. My sinus condition remains, although not as bad, but the itching is completely gone. I have been desperate for help for 4 years with the Granuloma Annulare, and no doctor could do anything but prescribe cortisone, which I dont want. This Claritin is a God-send to me.

Stuffy nose, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing. It seens to help with stuffy nose but not much else.

It worked, yes, but after a year the metallic taste in my mouth is making life miserable so I am stopping it today. Even water tastes like metal. Ugh!!

may not be working at all.

Loratadine (and its non-generic form, Claritin) have worked well for me. I have allergies to cats that leaves me with sneezing, wheezing, itcy eyes, and in extreme cases - hives; and loratadine alleviates those symptoms. I take it as needed only. What I'm finding now is that loratidine makes me extremely crabby (grumpy, short-fused, ill-tempered, whatever you term it, I get it bad). This effect is getting stronger, especially over the last year. I'm also finding that it leaves my muscles with a mild achy feeling from head to toe with a slight feeling of disconnectedness.Read More Read Less

Loratadine (generic for Claritin) is a wonderful non drowsy long acting (once daily) antihistamine for both seasonal and year round allergies. Generics can be purchased for a cost as low as $2 to $4 monthly and are just as effective as the brand name. Loratadine takes a few days use to reach maximimum effectiveness and it is important to take it every day to maintain full effectiveness. If you are having an acute allergic reaction or flare up Benadryl (diphenylhydramine) is a better choice for such uses as it is faster (though shorter) acting. Other quick acting but non drowsy antihistamines would also work in these cases. Read More Read Less
