Claramax???

Question

Hi everyone!

I am thinking of taking Claramax for my hay fever. Has anyone had any bad experiences with this med? Or is it a very good med? Please let me know and don't ignore if you have taken this med. I need to get some med today for my hay fever and need to know which medication can help the most.

Answer 1

Claramax is just the over-the-counter version of Clarinex (desloratadine), made by the same company, most likely at a higher price. It's not available OTC here in the US.

I would recommend comparing the cost per unit of Claramax vs. the cost per unit of generic loratadine (basically the same drug, name brand Claritin). Then choose whichever is cheaper.

If drowsiness isn't an issue for you, there's nothing more effective than regular benadryl (diphenhydramine). It's also generic and very inexpensive.
