Advice & Tips
because Claritin-D is an OTC tablet, it is much easier (and cheaper) to take a tablet two hours before my infusion, plus Claritin-D does not make me drowsy, which Benadryl can, and a Benadryl drip can add-on extra infusion time, which I try to avoid at all costs. Claritin-D is also more effective for me than Benadryl ever was.
