Question 1

i have an extremely swollen eye. how much claritin can i take?

Accepted Answer

Swollen eye

: If this is one eye unlikely it is an allergy. More likely an infection. You should probably be seen.

Question 2

took claritin can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) the same day?

Accepted Answer

Claritin (loratadine) and Benadry: Hello. You can take both. Dedications at the recommended doses on the same day.

Question 3

after how many hours of taking claritin, can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

No wait necessary: While both are antihistamines, only Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will make you drowsy. So as a "one-time" dose, there should not be any significant problems.

Question 4

i am on sertraline and claritin can i take tylenol to help relieve some of the stuffy nose and tightness in chest. it is either allergies or a cold i think?

Accepted Answer

: You can safely combine Tylenol with these other drugs, but it will not have any effect on your stuffy nose or the tightness in your chest. Tylenol's actions are limited to pain relief and reduction of fever.

Question 5

how much claritin (loratadine) to take?

Accepted Answer

Usual dose: The usual dose of Claritin (loratadine) for people 12 years old and older is 10 mg once a day.

Question 6

how much time does it take claritin (loratadine) to work?

Accepted Answer

Within 1-2 hrs: Claritin (loratadine) is well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and its effect is often felt within 1-2 hours. Claritin is metabolized in the liver into Desloratadine (the main ingredient in clarinex) which can stay in your system for many hours, allowing these antihistamines to be dosed once daily.

Question 7

how much loratadine syrup should an adult take ?

Accepted Answer

10 milligrams: Depending on the strength of the solution the quantity may differ.The 10 milligram dose is standard for an adult.

Question 8

can i take 2 claritin (loratadine)?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your symptoms are not controlled with a normal dose, you should be evaluated for other causes and treatments. 2nd-generation antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) are usually very safe, and we sometimes recommend doses higher-than-normal doses for certain conditions. But these conditions are best managed with the help of your doctor--see your doctor before taking more than the recommended dose.

Question 9

is it safe to take 20 mg loratadine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why ?: Studies of loritadine show the medication is well tolerated at twice the recommended 10 mg dose. However, the same studies show no added benefit of the double dose in symptom relief over the regular dose schedule.

Question 10

i'm 28 weeks is loratadine ok to take?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Claritin (loratadine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine) are pregnancy category B medications which means that animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus, but there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. That said, I frequently use these medications with my pregnant patients. Allegra (fexofenadine) is category C so avoid this medication if possible.
