i break out into hives occasionally. not because of saw palmetto, fenugreek, wild yam, soy, cocoa butter or the multi vitamin i take. just because. my dr. prescribed claritin for it. i usually only take it when i need to because of an outbreak. and not because it hurts or anything only cuz it itches like mad! is it safe to take claritin, loritadine, now? thanks.
Diana,
Hon, sounds like you are having a reaction with your herbs. Claritin is a histomine blocker,and you can take it with your herbs....but first you need to find out which one is giving you the fit. I would say try taking them separate for a day or so...see which one causes the hives and drop that one out of your routine. You very well cant live your life like that baby
i know its not the herbs. i have been on claritin since may 16 2006. but i cant figure out what i am allergic to. sometimes its hives but sometimes its the lips on my face. i have changed everything in my diet. the dr. cant figure out why this happens. claritin works really well. just wanted to make sure it would still work. thanx.
Hmm, well if the Dr. can't figure out why it happens, perhaps you should let him know you are on the herbs and see what he can rule out by doing an allergy test?
