Allergy Relief (Antihistamines)

Antihistamine medicines used for allergic symptoms, grouped by molecule. The section covers fexofenadine, cetirizine and levocetirizine, loratadine and desloratadine, rupatadine, and ebastine and other antihistamines, in tablet and syrup forms.

Before you buy

Antihistamines differ in how much drowsiness they tend to cause and in how long a dose lasts, so the molecule matters more than the brand. Syrup strengths for children differ from tablet strengths. Some products require a prescription. Check with a pharmacist before combining an antihistamine with other medicines, and speak to a registered doctor if symptoms are severe, persistent, or affect breathing.
