Claritin (loratadine) and Clarinex (desloratadine) are both medications that are licensed for the treatment of allergy symptoms. Both are antihistamines.
While both drugs can be used to relieve itching due to hives, Clarinex is used to treat chronic hives. Claritin also comes in more strengths and forms than Clarinex.
The primary difference between Claritin versus Clarinex is that Claritin and generic knock-offs can be found over the counter, while the Clarinex is available by prescription only.
Zyrtec is used to treat and relieve the symptoms of seasonal, perennial Allergies and hives (urticaria). It is similar to Claritin and Allegra.
Clarinex is an antihistamine, used to treat symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. It effectively treats itchy/watery/red eyes, and runny/itchy nose.
You take benadryl when you need it, where as claritin is more of a preventative thing.
Check the labels. If both contain Benadryl (diphenhydramine), you shouldn't, no.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Claritin (loratadine) are both antihistamines and therefore should not be taken together. Singulair may be taken with diphenhydramine or loratadine, but not with both.
A child should not take Benadryl along with Claritin. These two medicines do pretty much the same thing. There would be a chance of overdosing if you gave your child both of these at the same time.
It depends what you need it for. If it is allergies, Benadryl, Zyrtec and Claritin (regular, not claritin D). Headaches, Tylenol or ibuprofen, (until 22 weeks). Sleeping Aid I am unsure of, but Benadryl will help. Just use lightly, not everyday. Anthistamines dry you up, including amniotic fluid.
No, you do not take two antihistamines at the same time. You may choose either benadryl OR Claritin, but not both. Overdosing on antihistamines causes severe sedative effects which might make you become confused or pass out. You might have trouble breathing. You will get twice the drying out effects, and will almost certainly get a splitting sinus headache or nosebleed.
Yes.There is no drug interaction between Loratadine and Diphenhydramine. Just make sure to take a regular dose of both, and remember that Benadryl can make you drowsy.No, you do not take two antihistamines together. Overdosing on antihistamines can cause excessive sedation, which might make you confused or cause you to pass out. You might even have trouble breathing. If claritin is not working for you as an antihistamine, it's probably time to see your doctor and get a prescription antihistamine.
Antihistamines are used to relieve or prevent allergy symptoms. Some common antihistamines include Benadryl, Chlortripalon, Atarax, Claritin,Seldane, and Hismanal.
Cat allergies can be relieved by taking medicine that helps deal with allergy symptoms such as Benadryl or Claritin. In addition, it is important to keep hands washed and cleaned after touching cats.
Technically yes, but it is not recommended. The two drugs basically do the same thing, and, as opposed to mixing say naproxen, Acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, there would be no benefit - just more drowsiness and dry-mouth.
No, you do not take two antihistamines at the same time. You may choose either benadryl OR Claritin, but not both. Overdosing on antihistamines causes severe sedative effects which might make you become confused or pass out. You might have trouble breathing.

If you're taking Claritin, not Claritin-D, you can take basic allergy medications like Benadryl. The side effects include drowsyness, etc. If you're looking for an alternative, Zyrtec has come out on the market, and it has 12- and 24-hour varieties. I've heard that taking allergy pills (Claritin, Zyrtec, etc...) are more effective when taken twice daily in people that metabolize the medication more quickly. It's something to try out. Get the Claritin 12-Hour and try that for awhile to see if it works better for you. Otherwise, consider seeing your physician about Allegra, an allergy medication that is still available via prescription or talk to him about using an intranasal administered antihistamine together with your current Claritin.
