4.0 out of 5 stars Claritin Relieves Itchy Eyes, but Claritin-D Relieves More, May 9, 2004

This review is from: Claritin 24 Hour Allergy, RediTabs - 20 ea (Health and Beauty)

As a long time allergy-sufferer, I maintain a stock of anti-allergy medications to help me get through every allergy season. I recently decided to try Claritin, and was very pleased with its ability to stop the very irritating feeling of itchy eyes, but it's active ingredient, Loratadine (10 mg), did nothing to stop my runny nose and frequent sneezing by itself. However, I have also tried the 24-hour Claritin-D, which not includes the Loratadine (10 mg), but also contains pseudoephedrine sulfate (240 mg). With the addition of the pseudoephedrine sulfate, Claritin-D relieved my itchy eyes, runny nose and frequent sneezing.

Therefore, if you purchase the regular Claritin that only contains the Loratadine (10 mg), but you also suffer from runny nose and sneezing during allergy season, I would highly recommend supplementing it with an addition anti-allergy medication that contains pseudoephedrine sulfate. Otherwise, purchase the Claritin-D to have both in single pill.

Before I started to take Claritin/Claritin-D for allergy relief, I had a very difficult time finding a non-drowsy, over-the-counter, anti-allergy medication that would relieve itchy eyes. Claritin's active ingredient of Loratadine (10 mg) has not caused me to feel drowsy after taking it, nor has the Claritin-D that also includes pseudoephedrine sulfate (240 mg). Therefore, if you want to have allergy relief and not be put to sleep by it, I highly recommend Claritin or Claritin-D. Overall, I rate Claritin (without pseudoephedrine sulfate) with 4 out of 5 stars, but I rate Claritin-D with 5 out of 5 stars.
