- Allegra (fexofenadine)
- Benadryl (diphenhydramine)
- Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine)
- Clarinex (desloratadine)
- Claritin (loratadine)
- Dimetapp (brompheniramine)
- Zyrtec (cetirizine)

Another allergy medicine is Singulair. Instead of blocking histamines, it tackles another set of chemicals called leukotrienes, also produced during episodes of inflammation or swelling.

Now, the manufacturers of Claritin and Singulair are seeking FDA approval for a new drug which would combine the active ingredient in Singulair (montelukast) with the active ingredient in Claritin product (loratadine). This combo should be able to treat both types of allergic rhinitis: seasonal allergies i.e., pollen allergies, as well as the perennial
allergic rhinitis (mold, dust, dander, etc).Permalink: Medicines for Your Allergic Rhinitis
