Antihistamine that works better or merely as perfect as benadryl?
I like how benadryl really works with allergies but I dont like how it make my skin and mouth dry and it can be constipating. Is there another good antihistamine that works as well or even better consequently benadryl?
e Loratadine. Works great for me! You should try it. You can buy it over the counter. =)
Prescriptions that work good: 1st. Singulair(works best) 2nd. Allegra Source(s): experience (I have other had bad allergies!)
I know exactly how you feel. I once took benadryl but stopped when I found something called Doxylamine. My doctor recommended it to me because I hated the road benadryl made me feel.
its sold over-the-counter as unisom-2 in canada.
Hi,
You could try:
YRTEC. (zyrtec is made out of HYDROXAZINE which is VERY close to benedryl......how ever, it is chemically altered to make it last longer, which makes it for a moment different.....with me, it DID make me feel VERY FATIGUED....resembling I got run over by a truck....FATIGUED, but yet, not ready to plunge asleep......however, I could function WELL on 2 benedryl every few hours....).
(I do totally understand the dry mouth effect you are referring to with the benedryl--I am on a few meds that cause that---and when my allergies are BAD---I appropriate multiple meds....and get cotton mouth when stressed.....NOT FUN!!---lol).
3. Tavist--my sister recommends this one---it is over the counter very soon I believe....(again, I have never taken it....but she says it works well).
4. Chlorpheniramine---this is one I have given my husband who is sensitive to a few allergy meds. It MAY be sedating, and my husband found it worked resourcefully in a 1/2 dose for him.......when the allergies were not bad.
"LORATIDINE" that be mentioned....is the SAME THING as CLARITIN. Also known as ALAVERT.
Since CLARITIN did not work for you, there is very little fortune that CLARINEX will work well....but, it IS an option to try.
A MAST CELL STABILIZER in truth works to PREVENT the HISTAMINE from being RELEASED in the FIRST PLACE---which helps DECREASE the allergic repercussion A LOT!!
You can buy NASAL CROM over the counter---or order it from cvs.com if it is not in your area---cvs even has a generic performance of it which works just as well----it is a nasal spray which you spray ONE time up EACH nostril a few times a day---up to 6 times a day during the WORST of the time or when you are first starting--but, do not do it for more than 2 weeks at the max dose---then, you decrease it to 4 times a daytime to as low as "just before you will be exposed to an allergen/right after exposure"......I even found this helped my "exercised induced asthma" and my asthma that be sensitive to Chlorinated pool water.......
Singulair and Accolate MAY help....but, they will not stop the histamine---only the leukotrienes...(this is related to the white blood cell and what happens during an allergic reaction---you actually do more than JUST release histamine....).
Well, I think this is mostly adjectives I can recommend since I really do not know what your allergy symptoms are or what kind of allergies you have (trees/pets/food/ect).
her option would be to see your doctor---however, newly to forwarn you---alot of the allergists/ENT's always seem to want to push the FANCIEST NEWEST medicine out that week---no business what the cost or if you already TRIED it in a different version--or at least the ones I have be to it seems.......(my primary care doctor is NOT like that though---not at ALL!!)
Good luck to you, and if you do stir see an allergist, just let them know WHAT you have tried and what you are LOOKING for surrounded by an allergy medicine....so you don't just wind up beside the same version of what you have already tried but within a different route---(ie--nasal spray vs oral tablet).
