20 Best Allergy Medicine For Coughing And Wheezing (2023 Updated)

I’m the crazy person who decided to own 2 cats even though I’m slightly allergic. Add seasonal allergies and I am basically sneezing 24/7. I usually got by with benadryl, but since it made me drowsy I could only take them in the evening.

I only ended up trying this because my mother could no longer take them, so she asked me if I would want them. I was very surprised at how well they work! Not only do they work fast, but there are days where I don’t need to take them, at all and I still don’t have my usual reactions.

Which is great, I went from taking benadryl every night to taking one of these every 3-5 days. Of course everyone is different, I would make sure you can take these if you take other medications. its the reason my mom could take them anymore.

But if you can you should definitely try them out.

I used to buy the name brand, but after paying nearly $30 for a little over a months supply, I had to give this a try at least. I’m so upset at myself for not switching sooner! For nearly half the price of the name brand for just over a months supply, you get and entire YEARS worth! And most importantly – IT WORKS! Seems like a no brainer to me.

I have taken Claritin for about 12 years or more. I have used the Berkey Jensen for at least the last 6. A DR told my wife it isn’t effective if taken for more than a year and told her to take Zyrtek.

We both started. I had headaches every night and allergy problems. After a month, I switched back to this and all is well. Love it.

Chlorpheniramine is an old antihistamine with some sedative properties. Compared to Benadryl (generic: diphenhydramine), it doesn’t last as long as a sedative, which makes it somewhat superior as a sleep medicine in my opinion – one wakes up alert rather than still a bit sedated.

As an antihistamine, not particularly strong, but worth trying. Don’t take it and drive. It may be useful as an antidepressant and for panic disorder. Google “PMID 16413139” for the citation on Pubmed.

It is an SSRI, but has never been systematically evaluated compared to the newer ones like Zoloft or Celexa. Lastly, the caution: There is some recent concern that long-term use of anti-cholinergic medications may be associated with an increase in Alzheimer’s disease.

Therefore I would not use this as a regular sleep medication, but rather as an occasional means of getting a good sleep rhythm started again. Other anticholinergic medications include diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Oxybutinin (Ditropan).

Cholinergic nerve endings are involved in cognitive functioning, so it’s not surprising that drugs that interfere this way might have long-term adverse effects. Lastly, pretty inexpensive – I’ve even seen it the dollar store for 1-2 cents per tablet.

I’ve tried everything to help my older cat who has horrible itchy skin. She has bad military dermatitis all over and constantly bit and pulled her skin and was going bald on her back. There would be little furry scabs everywhere – Gross! I could tell she was miserable.

When I pet her in certain areas she would jump and her skin would twitch. I looked on line and found this medicine (I bought it at Walmart for a 3rd of the price) and cut it in half. Put the 1/2 in a Greenies chicken pill pocket (I got them from Petsmart) and my picky little fur baby gobbled it up.

I could never get her to take pills any other way! I was shocked! Within a couple hours she seemed to be more relaxed and no more excessive scratching, biting/pulling of skin. she did seem a little sleepy during the first couple hours, but definitely happy and calm.

So far I give her a 1/2 every day and it seems to last all day. Her hair is growing back and the miliary dermatitis seems to be going away as well. I’m so glad I could provide some relief and now I can get some sleep at night without her waking me up attacking her skin constantly.

I would definitely try this for your pet.

Poor Jerry (cat) was having an allergic problem for a long time, I took him to the vet, who said he was perfectly fine and that everything was just a grooming thing!!! Paid $75. 00 to hear that. One of my daughters has a cat with the same problem and she told me the vet has given her cat an antihistaminic medicine that I thought my vet was going to suggest, at least, that for my cat.

But nothing. For a long time I was thinking how to get the medicine without a prescription and voila, found it at Pet-Meds. Beautiful Jerry is now doing way better than weeks before, hardly any scratching and so far, I don’t see any big side effect; I just see him calmer and happier without that constant scratching he was under for months (day & night).

The only cons I see it that the pill is a bit too big and therefore not easy to put iin one pill pocket, I have to use at least 2 of them or give him only half of the pill which has been working good, too.

Very happy with the results !!.

I purposely waited to write my review until I had completed 20 straight nights of taking Xyzal Allergy 24 hour and my first reaction is Wow! I’ve been an allergy sufferer for many many years. Suffering from both outdoor and indoor triggers.

It was not too surprising that when I moved to a new state 2 1/2 years ago, the change in indoor and outdoor living conditions alone did not cure the allergies! I was still taking a combination of medicines without full relief.

I started taking Xyzal in April, I immediately noticed I was not waking up with a stuffy nose. Several days later, pollen notifications were coming up on phone from weather app and trees started blooming, so pretty! The second thing I noticed with Xyzal was that I was not having my sneezing fits.

I could sneeze 4-10 times in one ‘burst’. But I have not experienced that in at least 2 weeks. I will continue to take Xyzal Allergy 24HR, it has most definitely been the most effective relief I’ve experienced in decades! The third thing I have to mention is even the packaging is better.

Have you ever been frustrated trying to peel off the paper and poke the pill through the foil? I have! Not with Xyzal, the paper lifted smoothly from the corner every time and the pill came out the foil without breaking.

*Disclaimer I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. * This was my honest review and Xyzal is on my shopping list.

This product works great. I’ve used it for years for myself and also a couple of times to help one of my dogs who has stuck their muzzle in ants. But recently the packaging changed. The print is so small I need a magnifier to read it.

Also the print is no longer clearly visible, it looks like it’s faded. This is going to be a problem when someone has an emergency and can’t read the label. Walmart, do you really save that much money by using less ink?.

I have very severe allergies. I have taken 2 every night for 20 years and find it helps keep down ear infections. I have also been aware after eating a food, I look and feel for results. SOY is in every thing! It makes the corners of my mouth and my throat itch terribly.

Egg makes my throat close up. Choc. Breaks out my forearms in little bumps, white potato makes my stomach itch, milk and wheat, corn, and sugar give me a terrible stomach ache, gas and constipation. Cantaloupe- diarrhea.

Tomatoes and night shades – joint swelling and terrible arthritis. All make me very sleepy and difficult to concentrate and study. Exercise helps.

Arrived very fast, well-packaged, and perfectly intact! Affordable/great price for the quantity of 100 and they work pretty good for the price when used 2-3 times daily for my year-round/seasonal allergies; very similar to Benedryl Allergy Ultra-tabs and love that they’re dye-free, too.

Thanks a mil!.

Benadryl Ultratabs Antihistamine Allergy Relief Tablets, Diphenhydramine HCl 25mg, 100 ct:Ive been purchasing for my dog because she has environmental allergies, and this seems to really help her. I had purchased the generic from Marketplace, but those did not help at all, even though the ingredients look similar.

I can notice a difference with her trying to itch her paws and body when I dont have her on these, so I will continue to purchase the Benedryl brand. I paid 11. 99 for the 100 about 0. 12 a pill which was a good deal.

Previous purchases of the smaller quantity of 48 was typically around 7 0. 15 each. Prices can and often fluctuate,Ive seen pricing go up and down because I typically keep these in my Home Deliveries USA saved for later cart.

Check with your vet for proper dosage and to make sure there are not any interactions with other meds. Also, be sure to read the label and dont give a dog one with anything else or the timed release ones.

For reference, my dog is about 40 lbsI give her one in am and one in the evening with food. If your pet struggles with seasonal allergies, this may help your pet. Ive also used them for seasonal allergies.

The pills are easy to swallow and do not cause me any stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach. The bottle is not childproof, so keep out of reach of pets and children. I hope you found this review helpful!:

The first thing I check when ordering things such as this, is the expiration! I was very happy to see that this is a very current bottle and packaging that has not been tampered with. The expiration is a year or so away.

This product is genuine, and completely legit. I bought this for my pups allergies, as well as to have on hand. I actually stuck it in my auto-ship since I am so pleased with it! I can’t remember what I paid for it.

but I know it was about 1/3 of what the grocery and convince stores are selling the exact same product for!!!.

So happy I found ! For years I was a Zyrtec user but decided to switch to Allegra when I was fed up with not feeling 100% after using Zyrtec. Here I am, years later, still loving it. With my seasonal allergies I get itchy eyes and throat, post nasal drip, sneeze and have a little annoying consistent “one cough” throughout the day.

This takes all of that away! It actually keeps me from snoring during the night when my allergies act up as well. I am prone to sinus infections, and when I use this consistently, I don’t have any issues.

I’ve also tried Claritin, which didn’t work well for me. And this is a sustainable option over products like Benadryl, which make you sleepy. It’s a win all around in my book!.

Using Allegra Allergy makes taking care of your allergy symptoms so easy. For me I put it next to my toothbrush as a reminder to take it in the mornings. The pill is small (compared to most vitamins).

Taking it in the morning means I have relief from my allergy symptoms clear through the day into the night and all the way through to taking it the next day. Indoor and outdoor allergy relief has never been so simple.

My previous medicine has a 4 to 6 hour length of effectiveness. This blows my previous one out of the water. Also one last minor thing the bottle is conveniently small and fits in my purse for on the go.

This product is pretty good. It is comparable to other leading allergy pills. I bought this product at Walgreens. It is their in house brand of allergy meds. This product costs around 1/3 less than the leading brands.

They do have the same main ingredients!.

This is one of the only allergy pills that works for me! It doesn’t make me drowsy/foggy. It’s affordable when you break down how many tablets your getting. I always buy it from Walgreens because they have coupons for almost everything to help save you money!.

I have seasonal pollen allergies, and then I also have dust allergies which basically can come up any time of year. I mostly use a generic variant of a brand and that works “mostly”, however on days when there’s severe allergy, the medicine didn’t help completely.

Recently while cleaning the house, I took Allegra gelcaps before starting to clean. And I didn’t feel a thing – not an itch in throat, no sneezing, no runny nose. The medicine really worked to stop dust allergies from flaring.

Like a lot of people, I suffer from allergies year round (mostly in the spring and fall time of the year though). I use Allegra and it helps a lot with these allergy symptoms. It keeps me from getting sick and/or sinus infections.

It also makes the symptoms almost non-existent: itchy/watery eyes, scratchy throat, headache and sneezing. Another plus is the medicine is also non-drowsy- so you’ll be able to go to work and function like normal.

I definitely recommend Allegra for anyone suffering with allergies!.

I have been taking these pills for years now and they work fantastic! Once they build up in your system you will not experience a single allergy symptom. Make sure to check with your doctor before you take these but they should be ok for everyone.

I have been taking this medication safely for years and I have never grown a tolerance or immunity. I also give this medication to my little sister, she ahs been taking it safely since she was about five years old.

It is very gentle but high effective. Make sure to stay hydrated as this like any allergy medication will dry you out a bit. Effectiveness I have been taking these for years and they are the best allergy medication I can find.

I tried Allegra and Flonex and several others and none worked. Zyrtec and Claritin work but they are so expensive so I was thrilled when I found these – they are the generic version and so much more affordable.

I take them daily and they last about 24 hours. On really bad days when the pollen count is sky high I make sure I take one in the morning and one before bed just to make sure I am covered. Ease of Use These are very simple to take, they are small and they don’t have a weird taste like some allergy medicines do.

I am grateful for the small size as my allergies often make it hard to swallow without a pill getting stuck in my throat or choking while trying to swallow a pill. They are not coated but they do not need to be since they are so tiny.

Immediacy I love these pills they work in about 30 minutes, on really bad days I might take two. If you take them daily they will build up in your system and you don’t be affected by most allergens at all.

I have been tempted to try Claritin to handle my sinus congestion issues, but I didn’t want to pay the price for Claritin. When I found this medication and I saw that it has the same active ingredient as Claritin, I gave it a try.

It seems foolish to pay so much for the brand name of Claritin when this works. You should certainly try a bottle and see if you can even tell the difference. Claritin really keeps your sinuses clear.

I especially remember that the very first time I tried this, I felt an opening up of my nasal passages. I really did feel like I could breath clearly for the first time in a while. One bottle of this will last an entire year because you only have to take one tiny pill each morning.

I take this in the morning even before I feel symptoms and so it leaves me symptom free all day. I think the effects wear off or me at around 9 or 10 pm, so I usually take a “normal” antihistamine before bed when I don’t care about the drowsiness.

Effectiveness This medicine is remarkably effective. Unlike other OTC medicine that only lasts a few hours and only seem to stop some of my symptoms, this leaves me symptom free for the entire day. Ease of Use These pills are very small so they are easy to swallow.

Immediacy If you are suffering from your allergies, it will take about 20 minutes to feel the effect; however, you can live without any symptoms if you take this medication when you wake up before you begin feeling any symptoms.

My daughter has been sneezing and having a runny nose every morning for months. On bad days, she would sneeze and have a drippy nose all throughout the day. Her allergist couldn’t find anything she is allergic too and she tried a bunch of allergy meds that didn’t really help.

So when we found these allergy drops, she tried them together with the sinus drops and she has stopped sneezing all together! These drops and the sinus drops have been a miracle in helping her to stop her sneezing and having a runny nose.

However, it seems that it may have worn off after a little over a week so she needed to take them again about 10 days later. All in all, they really work with no side effects or harmful drugs! Thank you for making such a safe and effective medicine with ingredients from nature.

A true blessing from God!.

The last order I just received today is my third time purchasing the allergy formula. I wanted to give the product a fair shake before reviewing it. I can’t say enough good things about this product! My allergies have been terrible lately, and this has been the only thing able to save me! I take five drops under the tongue and I swear it starts to work within ten minutes, clearing up my sins congestion almost immediately.

I was so pleased to see that Forces of Nature is now making this in the 30ml bottle. I will never use anything else, and I’m quite tempted to buy a lot of the other natural medicines that are offered here.

So effective, and organic! It’s great to know that I can help my allergies without poisoning myself with sleep- inducing, barely effective pharmaceuticals!.

I suffer from seasonal allergies, where a few times/year I am taking Claritin almost every day. I am definitely one to look for a more natural way of treatment, especially as it’s something ‘chronic’.

Since I started using these allergy drops just once in the morning (5-10 drops), I have not had to take a Claritin/antihistamine! It has been 3 weeks now, and that’s honestly saying something!! What an amazing product! I also love the H Balm for cold and canker sores! You have a forever shopper.

Thank you so much!!!.

Good product that I usually get at BJs but they were out of stock. However this bottle expires in February and it’s currently June. I bought it with the hope that it would be good for at least a year as there are 365 tablets in it and we need 1 or less a day.

Need to return for an expiration date at least a year away, not 7ish months.

I wouldn’t say this product cures my child’s horrible allergies but it makes the allergies manageable. My child still has a horrible runny nose but it helps control the sneezing a little. I buy this and also use other herbal remedies and essential oils.

This is the Kirkland generic of children’s Zyrtec. It’s the only allergy medicine that our pediatrician recommends, and you can’t beat the Costco price savings. It is indispensable for treating my daughter’s seasonal allergies.

Generic Zyrtec. Great for seasonal allergies, and allergic reactions as well. We always keep this in our medicine cupboard for windy days (increase in my daughters’ hayfever). Non-drowsy, and works better than children’s Claritin.

IšverstiShow in original languagemiracle drug- non drug i don’t have coronavirus. when the weather gets to cold i go into respiratory distress you can’t imagine what that’s like hacking and coughing ready to rip your lungs out on top of flem and sinus drainage , tried everything including Mucinex DM.

but got these at a scratch and dent for a dollar each bought a lot of them before i even knew they would work. eucalyptus cough drops barely did anything. still had symptoms. followed the instructions worked immediately had to keep taking them to follow thru but let me tell you they gave me my life back.

the hacking and coughing stopped and my body was at peace. wish they made pills to make my life better but no one has yet. but until then i’ll take any win that comes my way. even if this is temporary i’d like to thank them for the relief when nothing else worked.

it can feel like your going to die and there is nothing you can do. now i’m stocking up when winter comes. it’s nice to be back in control of my life. i live alone and something like this is debilitating and it’s nice to know i can say no more when i get an attack.

i was not paid i just believe in saying thank you when someone dose something for you. so thank you for this product it stop my problems and let me breath again your friend neal carnes.

My doctor suggested that I take Walgreens Wal-Itin for a few weeks until I get better, it is 100% satisfaction It has been working really well for me, no more runny nose and sneezing and no more itchy, watery eyes.

The amazing thing about it is it works just as well as Claritin for half the price! because they are the same and the ingredients lists on both boxes were completely identical yet Walgreens Wal-Itin is with a great price.

It Works well and keeps allergies under control It helps relieve my seasonal allergies tremendously and clears you up without drying out your nose. It is ease of Use: I take one pill a day in the evening because that helps me sleep and keeps me from sneezing at night so you just need to take one tablet every twenty four hours.

The good thing about it is it’s Immediacy because within just minutes after taking it about probably 10-15 minutes it starts to kick in and I love that. you should be careful with the storing informations like: Store at 20°-25°C (68°-77°F).

I would highly recommend this medication to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive allergy relief tablet, because you will finally get red of seasonal allergies, runny nose and sneezing and itchy, watery eyes for with great price.

I have terrible seasonal allergies and I switch out my allergy medicine once a year so my body doesn’t become immune to it. I compared the ingredients of the Wal-itin to Claritin and the ingredients were the exact same but the price was much different.

I am a bargain shopper, and it kills me to spend so much more money on the same thing, just because of brand. This medication worked just as well as Claritin and kept my allergies under control. I like to take this once a day in the evenings to help me sleep and keep me from sneezing at night.

It works really well, I hardly even sneeze when I take this medication. I would highly recommend taking this medication is you are suffering from seasonal allergies and need relief. Effectiveness This is a great product for relief of seasonal allergies and is much less expensive than the brand name and works just as well.

Ease of Use I take one pill a day in the evening.

What it is: A non-drowsy allergy tablet that works for both indoor and outdoor allergies for up to 24 hours. Key Ingredients: Loratadine and nothing else. They are pure allergy pills. What it feels/smells/looks: It is a small round, white pill.

Enough said. Why I like it: When I have a minor stuffy nose or congestion or itchy watery eyes, I take one of these pills and they really do not help. I get sporadic allergies from mold and moisture.

I try to take these on a daily basis and just use my prescription when my allergies are bad. The off-brands work for me, so I stick with them. If they work just as well, why not? You can save a lot of money this way.

I don’t really have anything else to say about this product really. I purchased the Equate brand from Walmart this time around for 5 USD.

I’ve suffered fron Heyfever since I was a kid, I now use Piriteze and for me, it really is a game changer. My friend is allergic to cats and says these in this brand, work best for her too. Having heyfever can make you feel so miserable, my nose was runny one min, then blocked the next, my eyes were red, puffy and itchy and that general congestion feeling, not to mention itchy sinus pain!??.

Well no more!!!. one of these in the morning and I have a full 24 hrs of relief. This is a god send!!!. I must add, I have tried plenty of brands of anti hystamines and these are clearly the best. Reasonable price and so so highly recommended for any allergy.

Purchased this as a hayfever sufferer put packet in drawer to use later. Opened packet today and no tablets hayfever is bad as a result had to leave work to get pills. £6 for an empty box do I need to check every box and packet I order its a joke.

The best allergy tablets on the market in my opinion. Help with both my hayfever and my family members psoriasis, stops the itching and fast

Works really well to relieve my allergy.

would have preferred Piriton

Always use these tablets when my hayfever comes.Work well for me.

Very satisfied with this product. It relieves so us symptoms and takes care of allergies also. I keep it on hand all the time. I would debit only recommend this product.
