claritin and clarinex, is there a difference?
by makingmyselfcrazy, Jul 10, 2006 12:00AM
Hi-
I suffer from mild to occasionally severe allergies, mostly due to dust mites and other airborne allergens. I have been prescribed clarinex, which works great, but is fairly expensive, especially compared to claritin. I know that claritin is loratidine and clarinex is desloratidine, so I know they're comparable, but is there a big difference? will claritin be less effective or similar?
thank you
