CetirizineCetirizine DesloratadineDesloratadine
Cetirizine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching. It works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Cetirizine does not prevent hives or prevent/treat a serious allergic reaction (such as anaphylaxis). Therefore, if your doctor has prescribed epinephrine to treat allergic reactions, always carry your epinephrine injector with you. Do not use cetirizine in place of your epinephrine.Desloratadine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching.

Made me extremely tired. It has been twelve hours and I'm still groggy after sleeping all night. Slower than usual with my movements and thinking. I like to go, and this really has slowed me down. I used a Neti pot last night and it helped tremendously opening up my nasal passages. Think I will discontinue this medicine, because I don't like the way it makes me feel. I'm active and vibrant, and this has me slow and sluggish. The itching has me worried mention by others, because I've had hives in the past and hate itching of any kind.

I am older. I moved to an area with trees everywhere, city nicknamed "Arbor City." Suddenly nose went wild, sneezing terribly. Realized it was allergy to tree pollen. Started to take loratadine, after a while I had to double the dose to even make it work. Ceritizine went to over the counter drug status. Started using it. Find it better then previous med, still having occasional sneezing breakthrough.

I was suffering from cough in my upper throat in the beginning of the Winter and took Desloratadine for 7 days. I was cured and did not suffered next 3 years. I felt fatigue, headache (with warmly ear) and a little bit dry mouth as its side effect.
