Need alternative to zirtec for allergy-induced asthma. allegra and benadryl (diphenhydramine) don't work, nor albuterol asthma inhalars. claritin gives me nasal pain.

Allergic help: You will definitely need to speak with your physician about this. Other alternatives include the short acting chlorphenamine (chlortrimetron), sold over the counter. There are prescription medications - xyzal, singulair, xopenex, (levalbuterol) Flonase and more. Ultimately - make sure you speak with your physician about this, since the medications you have tried so far are not providing relief for you.

Wrong drugs!: Try Omnaris-steroid nasal spray + Singulair 10mg to stop mast cells from exploding, Dulera (long acting beta-agonist and inhaled steroid for prevention of attacks) rinse mouth after! Xopenex (levalbuterol) HFA breakthrough inhaler, and generic Xyzal for emergency oral antihistamine. All have great coupons online to keep things cheap. Better to put drugs where the work the best. And Ayr saline nasal spray lots!

Other meds: There are inhaled nasal antihistamine and certainly montelukast is a possibility for you I think you should check with your MD for what may be best for you.
