The Walmart (Equate) brand actually works better for me than the name brand of Zyrtec...same with my daughter. Strange but true....

I use Allegra. It works very well and doesn't cause any drowsiness. It's sold in Canada without a prescription. I order mine through Canada Pharmacy.

I use the walmart brand of claritin. That plus one red sudafed (the real kind that you have to provide ID and get from the pharmacy counter) works for about 4 hours.

Methinks the sudafed is doing more than the generic claritin.

I have been forgetting to take the claritin every day. Does it work better if you keep taking it every 24 hours? (I get that on the days I don't take it it obviously is not going to help, but I am wondering if I take it more consistently will it work better?)
