For Nasal Congestion "I literally have tried every home remedy and allergy medicine out there. Until I tried Walgreens generic Claritin-D for nasal congestion and allergies, way cheaper, and you get the same results. I had nasal congestion, fever/headaches, itchy throat, and earaches. After one dose, I felt like a new person. I truly recommend this product to anyone suffering from the same symptoms I had... :-)"

For Nasal Congestion "This product worked well for my post-nasal drip. But I felt extreme pressure in my sinuses, especially in my ears. I had terrible dry mouth, which created a horrible sore throat. Not to mention I took it at night, and I got terrible insomnia. I felt jittery and just absolutely horrible. I wish I had read these reviews before taking it! No more Claritin-D for me. Stick with the regular Claritin."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Worked great for my sinus and allergies. Had head and throat issues so bad, so the pharmacist recommended Claritin-D 24 hr. I made the mistake of taking it at noon, and it is now 6 a.m. and I'm still awake. Wired and jittery, and my anxiety is raging. I can't sit still... not worth the lack of sleep."
