A member asked:
Which active ingredient would be better at treating allergic conjunctivitis: loratadine or cetirizine?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Which is better: You would have to try both and see which works better for you. None are perfect for allergies but one often works better than the other.

Mgt: Avoid triggers and good handwashing, along with eye saline rinses can also help.
