I never take anything a GP says at face value, I just repeated what he said without looking it up myself. I know better than that.
Larry you mentioned Claritin causing heart problems, are you sure it is Claritin and not Claritin-D? Since they keep telling me I may have had a heart attack, which I don't believe, since my research shows that the extra iron in my system can screw up the electrical readings of my heart, but no-one listens to me. I have Hemochromatosis.But my point is, I hope it is not Claritin that is causing the problems with the heart. But now that I think about it, I don't give a shit, because this is the best I've felt in years. I am getting to the point that quality of life is better than quantity.
djmmm.......I believe desloratadine is Clarinex, which is different than loratadin or Claritin, but correct me if I am wrong. I know people who have tried Clarinex and they say they feel like they are on speed, so they end up going back on Claritin.
Thanks again for your input. I am going to definitely keep my eyes open for more studies on Loratadin.
