Hello! I would like to know if it is possible to react badly to antihistamines, such as Reactine?

40-year-old woman4 years ago

I reacted badly, 2 hours later: nausea, drowsiness, intense sensation of thirst, slight dizziness etc... It seems to me that it doesn't do it to me every time: that's what I find strange. Am I prone to react the same way with other antihistamines? Which one would you suggest? Thank you very much!

Hello Ma'am,

It is indeed possible that you are sensitive to antihistamines. If so, there is a risk that you will react with all of them, but the risk is less with Aerius™ in my opinion. Definitely give it a try!

Happy day,

Alexander
