Equate Gluten-Free Loratadine, USP Allergy Medicine Tablets for Allergy with 10 Count, 10mg, Compare to Claritin® 24 Hour Active Ingredient, 10 Tablets

I've been using equate loratadine 10mg tablets for my hayfever for a number of years and they've worked well for me. The key I was told was to take before allergy season starts so you prevent symptoms before they occur - which can be pretty miserable. If you suffer any health conditions or you are taking any prescription meds, check with your doctor first before you start taking any thing new to make sure they are safe for you to do so. Other then that I recommend them.

This is the same medicine as Claritin, except it's a generic. Why waste money for a name brand when the store brand is the same? I've used loratadine as London as the generic was legal. Before that I used Claritin with a prescription. It's helps my allergies better than any other medicine.

my Dr recommended claritan for chemo treatment (don't know why) because I was having undesirable side effects. I believe the main ingredient the Dr was looking for losatran, which is Claritin. did some checking, Equate has same ingredients but st a much lower price. Dr was pleased

We were looking for an effective allergy relief tablet at a fair price that does the job. Tried others but happy to report that Equate's Non-Drowsy All Day Allergy 10 mg Tablets does the job to relieve the pain %26 suffering from allergies and not break the bank. Give them a try!

I used to have a prescription for Loratadine until my insurance refused to cover it any longer. So I looked for a cheaper type and was happy to find the equate had Loratadine non drowsy allergy pills. I bought it and I'm happy to say it's great. Not only is it cheaper than the price my insurance was being billed for, I can get it way quicker off the shelf than wait for the pharmacy to refill it. and it's the same medication. Oh, even though the bottle shows to take one pill, my doctor said that taking a second pill an hour or two later is ok and will not harm me. But never take more than 2 in a day.

After 40 years of allergy free living, I have finally started to develop occasional allergies. As far as I can tell this brand has not caused any drowsiness, which is fantastic. What I cannot attest for with certainty is how effective it is compared to other brands, but that's only because my allergies are mild and inconsistent so sometimes I can't tell if the medicine is working or if I'm just having a lucky day. But assuming these are doing the trick it's great to have a bottle in every room and on the go so I loved getting a good deal on a twin pack.

Back in the day, we hay-fever sufferers used to PRAY for the day that Claritin -- which was only available to the rich and the Big Pharma suck-ups (meaning; people who love to truck to the doctor's office all the time) -- would make its way to the open market, meaning to OTC status. Well, guess what? NOW IT'S HERE. Loratadine is the EXACT ingredient in what used to be prescription-only Claritin, and I ADORE popping one of these in the a.m. when I wake up with the sneezes, 'cause I HATE THAT. This is a 24-hour drug: You take one pill and it Lasts All Day. I love me my OTC Loratidine 10mgs! DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FOR A 'STANDARD' anti-histamine, because Loratidine kicks benadryl and all its hideous permutations squarely to the curb. Who wants to take an anti-histamine if it's going to keep you in bed all day long??? This is NOT a soporific drug! - Eli.

Okay to be completely honest. I use the equate Zyrtec. But my new vet has told me that they no longer recommend Benadryl for dogs allergies. I gave my last dog's Benadryl for years instead of the costly dog prescription allergy medication. But the new medication vet's now recommend is Claritin. Which this is the generic. At CVS their generic is outrageously overpriced for 10.. Even on sale. But I needed them so I bought them one time from CVS. Never again.. Vets that don't won't to break you up any worse. They will try and find a less expensive alternative to the one “real” dog allergy pill. This pill is safe for dogs. I don't know about cats. But check first with your vet. Because the dosage is so low. For example, these pills come in 10mg dosages. My dog weighs about 9 lbs. therefore I give him a quarter pill. I read a 25 lb dachshund gets a 5 mg dosage. That was what I based mine own. The vet said use them but didn't tell me how much of the tablet to use. I went with half of a 5. But I'm used to giving dogs medication. BUT DO NOT LISTEN TO ME. I JUST HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALOT OF DOG ALLERGIES. So if your dog has allergies and is rolling around going crazy. Ask your vet if this could be an alternative to that bottle of $50 /month pills?

It could be that after long term use, I could have gotten immune. Seems to me when they changed the shape from teardrop to circle, the effect did not last 24 hours. However, for the cost, small sized pill and twin pack offering, it is still worth recommending to others.

I have been using this product. I decided to switch to the one equal to Yrtec I cancelled the other like clariten at the same time. Another cancelled item was cancelled, but I got both of these products....Loratatadinelike Zyrtec] and cyrst? ( like clariten
