looking for the right antihistimine

[mouses]

hi if any one can help,

im looking for an antihistamine best suited to help me with pet allergies, I have dust allergy too, also some foods.

not sure if there is one for certain allergies, was going to try clarityn but wanted to ask if the was a better one?

thanks

loratidine or cetirizine could help. Dh takes a daily loratidine tablet due to allergies. Dont buy branded as they are more expensive for the same product

is it prescription or over counter please?
ive seen Benadryl plus for dust pet and congestion - no good? or should I be looking for something containing cetirizine
thanks

You can buy them over the counter. the plain unbranded ones have the same active ingredients as the branded

have just checked what the benadryl plus contains and it has a different antihistamine plus a decongestant so is different to the 2 I suggested. all you can do is try it and see if it helps

thanks for your help

For plain allergies, cetirizine - vialora.net/page-2n5rqs is a pretty normal place to start, and it is usually over the counter. Benadryl can help, but it tends to be more sedating, so it is not always the best everyday option. If you are just comparing practical buys, generic cetirizine usually makes more sense than paying extra for a branded version. I would only bother with the combo congestion products if congestion is actually part of the problem.
