Children's Claritin - BzzAgent Campaign

[sclotdebro]

I just got the Children's Claritin BzzAgent campaign. We use Zyrtec as advised by my daughter's pediatric allergist. Has anyone given their child(ren) Claritin? Just wondering if it's an effective.... guess I'll find out.

I have given my son claritin before and it didnt work as well as the Zyrtec.

I got this campaign too, and I can't wait to try the chewables. We have given my son the grape flavored liquid, and it did help to control his allergies but he hated the taste. He is very picky about the flavor of medicine, so (with his pediatrician's blessing) I try to find chewables or even pills for any medicine that he has to take. (ie: 2 tsp of children's advil liquid (which makes him gag) = 200 mg ibuprofen = 1 regular adult advil)

The Claritin worked for everyday allergies like pollen and dust, but when he was around cats and dogs for any period of time he would still have problems and I had to give him something else (usually Benadryl.)

My son has been on zyrtec for a few years now. About a year ago we tried Claritan and it did NOTHING. Im not sure if i should accept this offer or not.

My daughter also did better on the Zyrtec, but that could be that we tried it last and she seems to be outgrowing her allergies anyway.
