Claritin?????

Hey guys~
My allergies are starting to get the best of me.  My cardio told me to take Claritin  (NOT CLARITIN D), jut claritin.  He said I should have not problems with it.
Has anyone had any problems with it?  Here we go again, I can't even trust my doctor because I start reading and researching and am always finding something to contradict what he says......

Regular Claritin doesn't have any stimulants in it so you should be fine!

I also have had no issues with Claritin, and it is what my cardiologist suggests.

Sorry...mispelling.  It should have been pseudoephedrine.

I take Claritin (aka Loratadine) regularly.  I have no problems.  Claritin D is not a good choice because the decongestant contains pseuffedrin and can therefore exacerbate arhythmias.  But I have never had anything work as well as Claritin and it does not seem to effect my PVC's, SVT OR vasovagal responses (all of which I have issues with at times).
