People and allergies
Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what current drugs are out
there (prescription or over the counter) that are good for people who are allergic to cats. Seems to me I recall seeing a commercial recently, but I can't remember what the drug was! TIA Bonnie

The best person to ask is your allergist of course, who can prescribe something effective that is right for you (and how the allergy manifests itself). I take several asthma medications as well as an antihistamine and nasal spray. I am allergic to many more things than cats as well - most people with allergies are.

My son was allergic to more than cats, and he'd get a prescription that worked, but it would seem that after a year or two, it wasn't as effective and the doc would switch. The current one is Zyrtec, which works well. He started with Allegra as a kid, went to Claritin after that. But you know what? The biggest difference I saw was when I got especially diligent about vacuuming, bought a HEPA vaccum and two HEPA filters. Sherry

TIA Bonnie I seem to remember a Zyrtek commercial where they said it was for all types of allergies, including pet dander. I take Claritin OTC, but only for general/hayfever allergies. My b/f has pretty good results with a non-addictive OTC nasal spray called NasalCrom. Rene

I hate Zyrtec, it is too strong! I like Claritan. Over-the-counter, works on cats, dust and mold. You can use it when you need it and you don't have to use it every day.
