Claritin RediTabs 12 Hour Allergy Medicine, Non-Drowsy Prescription Strength Allergy Relief, Loratadine Antihistamine Tablets, 30 Count, Pack of 2

I buy there over and over again. They work almost immediately, and I like the fact that they only last 12 hours, when I need them. I feel its good not to have to used a 24 hour drug! I occasionally will give one to someone else when we are outside together, and often they will ask me what they were the next day so they could buy some.

Recommended by my doctor for good reason, because not all antihistamines are the same. A different allergy med I had previously started taking (recommended by a friend!) was actually CAUSING me to have wheezing, lung and breathing problems; shortness of breath and dizziness, along with nasal, sinus and ear problems, making it SEEM like I had develped late-life asthma when I really didn't have asthma at all. It had caused me several Urgent Care visits to the doctor until we finally figured out that it was the allergy med I was taking that had started the series of problems--some of which were truly serious. Who knew? Since changing to Claritin, however, all those previous asthma-type problems immediately disappeared and I haven't had to use an albuterol inhaler at all.So for me, this works extremely well with no adverse side effects . I also like these 12-hour RediTabs because they work immediately, they're non-drowsy and keep me going through the daytime hours, yet by bedtime, it wears off so I can take a drowsy-inducing antihistamine so I can sleep at night. For me, it's better than the 24-hour RediTabs. Amazon doesn't always have these on Prime--or at a reasonable price--so I've found that some of the well-known chain drugstores can get them to my home not only cheaper but even FASTER than Amazon Prime--and with free shipping if I buy two of these at a time. It's also a good idea to read up on antihistamines--and ask you doctor and tell them which antihistamine you are taking--because there are so many kinds, and they are not all the same.

I’m always looking for the 12 hour Claritin RediTabs because the 24 hour doesn’t last long enough. This way I can take it twice a day if the first one starts to wear off.

I am old enough to remember when allergy medicines made you drowsy!

Really helps

I take this medication with water and it IS like swallowing air. The "tablets weigh practically nothing. It's hard to hold them. I leave them in their bubble packets until I take one. Not sure if they'll be good when our weather gets really hot soon.

Therefore perfect for treating my cat's chronic kitty virus congestion (a rescue hazard). Other antihistamines taste awful to him and. Its a struggle to force the issue of swallowing, he's wise to the treat and spits out the pill. No issue whatsoever with a daily 1/2 a Redi-tab, sliced further into tid -bits dispersed in his chicken pate. Dissolves instantly, and done. Economical too compared to prescription cat topicals applied to the ear at $60 for an applicator full that barely lasts 40 days. Still a struggle to apply, a mess & less effective). I am happy to take the cheap bulk on-line antihistamines I had bought for my cat myself, and keep him supplied with these. Not always available in pharmacies (must be Redi-tabs).
