Does it have any side effects? ## Cetirizine is an antihistamine, this used to help prevent allergies.

Common side effects to this may include: na...

Cetirizine side effects and withdrawal

I recently had to stop my Cetirizine for an antibiotic challenge test at my allergists office a week ago. Now I'm reading about withdrawal. I had a little itching all over like insect bites, but mostly since being back on Cetirizine, my nasal passages close completely during the day. I've tried Guaifenesin and just 100 mg or even 50 mg will open me up for 4 hours. Problem is I have irregular heart beats and weird dreams while in bed. I live in the country and there is plenty of dust. I think staying on this drug is risky. What other antihistamine might I try and I need to wean off of the one I'm on? Any advice is appreciated.

Disappearance of 12mg Chlor-Trimeton.... again

Question! Where can I find Chlor-Trimeton 12hr 12mg allergy pills? (near San Diego, CA) It seems that whenever a new allergy medicine comes on the market (Claritin, Zyrtec), CT disappears for a year or so. Available in Canada as Chlor-Tripolon but only for a short while as everyone in the US starts buying it on-line when CT disappears. This time, I haven't noticed any new product roll-out. Question 2- WHY does it disappear? I've been taking it regularly for over 50 years and only recently (last few years) has it been doing this disappearing act. ## I second Phils question. Chlor-Trimeton 12hr is very good for me. Why does it keep disappearing here in Michigan too! ## I just noticed Allegra became OTC(over the counter). Chlor-Trimeton always disappears when a new allergy product ...

Actifed banned

Hi all, I wanted to find out why Actifed (as a brand) got banned by the United and states and JNJ stopped producing it and came up with Sudafed. Is there a reason why? Is there a link to the legal suit that was filed against a JnJ. Any information about why JnJ stopped producing it would help. Thanks. ## Irebel is on the right track. One of the ingredients in Actifed was Pseudoephedrine [1], and due to regularly increasing rates of abuse, and large purchases used to manufacture illicit substances, its status was changed, and to gain better control of the supply, it was moved behind the pharmacy counter, so someone could only purchase a certain amount, plus they had to sign for it, and show identification when buying it. Once this happened, it severely cut down on sales, and some manufac...

Medication reactions

My husband is sensitive to medications. When we find one he can tolerate, it has to always be by that manufacturer, otherwise he has abdominal pain, bloating, gas, etc. when he starts a new medication, sometimes have to try several manufacturers before we can find one he tolerates. Manufacturers are changing all the time. Most likely he has a sensitivity or allergy to a filler. Is there any way to find a way or is there a way to find out what causes these problems? I live in fear every 3 months when I have to refill any of his 7 meds. I need help. Any suggestions? ## Has your husband ever been tested for allergies, and sensitivities? Have you tried checking the inactive ingredients of his medications to see if you can pinpoint what might be causing the problem when he tries a new one? R...
