Clarinex Information:
Clarinex (generic name: Desloratidine and Aerius) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of allergies including hay fever. Clarinex contains two antihistamines, which works by reducing the natural chemical histamine in the body and therefore reducing sneezing, watering eyes, runny/stuffy nose, skin rash, hives and itchy nose and eyes. Clarinex may also be prescribed for the symptoms of the common cold and rhinitis. Another use is in patients with uncomplicated skin problems caused by chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) in adults and children. Clarinex allows patients with allergies to enjoy the outdoors without the symptoms flaring up. Clarinex is a popular allergy medication used by many patients to help with allergy symptoms. Clarinex is an immediate action medication and the effects last up to 24 hours. Some patients may be prescribed Clarinex only during months when pollen count is high. It is an RX medication, so cannot be purchased without a prescription like other allergy medications.
Clarinex Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Clarinex which include dry mouth, sore throat, cough, muscle pain, drowsiness, feeling tired, nausea, diarrhea and headache. More serious side effects may include fast, pounding or uneven heartbeat, fever, flu symptoms, seizures or convulsions and jaundice (yellowing of the skins and eyes). If you experience any side effects you must seek immediate medical attention for safety.
Clarinex Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it you, and there will also be dosage and information on the pack. Clarinex comes in tablet form. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and do not chew or break the tablet as this may cause too much to be released at once which can have undesirable effects. Clarinex should be stored at room temperature away from direct light and heat. As this is an allergy medication there is unlikely to be a dose schedule and Clarinex should be taken as and when it is required to treat symptoms, however do not exceed the stated maximum dose.
Clarinex Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Clarinex you should not take it, and should inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, including kidney or liver disease. It is very important to also consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Clarinex. Clarinex is not suitable for children under 4. Giving cough and cold medicines to young children can be fatal and you should always seek a doctor’s advice before giving medicine to children. The consumption of alcohol may increase side effects of Clarinex and should therefore be avoided.
The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
