Antihistamine??

[snowchickie79]

My dermatologist has recommended i take an antihistamine to try to treat my allergies and dermatitis which are getting beyond a joke.
Have anyone taken anything they can recommend.
He recommended Polaramine but i'm not sure which brand to try..

Any suggestions??

unfortunately my doc told me not to use anythign at all as they are on the "unknown if safe" list.

If you do come across something safe i would liek to know?!

I used polarmine no worries.

i actually had it recommended to me by a pharmacist whose pharmacist wife was pregnant.

i found that it also helped with my insomnia. thank goodness.

just my two cents... many people have varying inputs, but i was told by docs and ph. that its fine

Yep I've looked up Polaramine and it's a Cat A drug so safe in PG. I wasn't sure if the actual product at the chemist is called Polaramine or it's if that was the name of the ingredient. When I looked up polaramine it came up with images of about 7 different products like claratyne etc.

Ahh ok, well i actually had "Polaramine". It was in a pink box and the tablets were pink too.

Funny though as i got told not to take claratyne.. Hmmmmm

Claratyne and the new class of antinistamines are unsuitable for use during pregnancy,so zyrtec as well. The older style antihistamines are fine though. So phenergan and polaramine but they are likely to make you drowsy, But they will control your allergies.
