Most people have tried taking a once-daily oral antihistamine like Claritin, Reactine or Aerius in the past. Although it may have worked previously, some may find that it does not sufficiently relieve all of their symptoms this season. If this is the case for you, you may want to consider using Benadryl. However, it can cause drowsiness and you may need to take it multiple times a day.
There are prescription antihistamines that are stronger than the over-the-counter options. Some private insurance may cover the cost of these medications. If you don't like taking oral medications, there are also prescription eye drops and nasal spray to relieve itchy, watery eyes and stuffy or runny nose. We have them in stock at Custom Care Pharmacy. No time to see a doctor? you may consider trying these over-the-counter eye drops or nose spray:
For itchy, watery eyes, choose an eyedrop that contains an antihistamine, such as:
Cromolyn 12.5mL $10.69 member price at Custom Care Pharmacy |
Visine allergy advance with Antihistamine 15mL $6.09 member price at Custom Care Pharmacy
For stuffy nose or runny nose, you may consider using non-medicated nose sprays, such as:
|
NeilMed Sinus Rinse $12.59 member price at Custom Care Pharmacy |
Hydrasense nasal care 135mL $9.99 member price at Custom Care Pharmacy |
There is also medicated, over-the-counter nasal spray, such as Dristan, that contains antihistamine and decongestant. However, this type of nasal spray should not be used more than 3 days and it is not recommended for children, pregnant women and some chronic health conditions. Ask your pharmacist before using this product.
