Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a woman came in with a stuffy nose and watery eyes. She approached the counter and said, “I’ve been dealing with these allergies for days, and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t know what to take—will Claritin help?”
I smiled, knowing this was a common question during allergy season. “Yes, Claritin is a great option for allergy relief. It contains loratadine, which is an antihistamine. Antihistamines work by blocking histamine, the substance your body produces during an allergic reaction. This helps relieve symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and throat irritation.”
She looked relieved but wanted to know more. “Does it work right away? I’ve tried other allergy medications that made me really drowsy.”
“That’s the great thing about Claritin,” I explained. “It’s a non-drowsy antihistamine, so you won’t feel sleepy after taking it. Claritin starts working within about 1 to 3 hours, and the effects last for a full 24 hours, making it perfect for all-day allergy relief without making you feel tired or groggy.”
She nodded, happy to hear about the non-drowsy effect, but still had one more question. “Can I take it every day if my allergies are ongoing?”
“Yes, Claritin is safe to take daily for ongoing allergies, especially if you have seasonal allergies or pet allergies that last for a while,” I said. “Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the package—usually one tablet a day for adults. If you have any specific health concerns or take other medications, it’s always a good idea to double-check with your healthcare provider.”
We also talked about other ways to manage allergies. “In addition to taking Claritin, you might want to try keeping your windows closed during high pollen days and using an air purifier at home to reduce allergens in the air. Drinking plenty of water and using saline nasal sprays can also help relieve congestion.”
Before she left, I added, “And remember, if you need more Claritin or any other allergy products, we offer free delivery at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy. We’re also working on developing a hazardous compounding room, which will allow us to offer even more personalized treatments for specific health conditions.”
She smiled and said, “Thanks so much! I’ll start with Claritin and see how it goes. It’s good to know I can take it daily without feeling drowsy.”
It’s always great to help people find the right solutions for their allergies, especially when it comes to finding something that works all day without causing drowsiness. At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we’re committed to providing the best advice and personalized care to help our patients feel better.
Until tomorrow,
