(SPOT.ph) Raise your hands if the first thing you do in the morning is sneeze. Heck, you haven't even moved from the bed yet. You sneeze, sneeze, and sneeze. In fact, you've probably lost count of how many times you've done so in succession. Blame it on the oh-so-annoying allergic rhinitis. In case you aren't aware, that daily "ritual" you have in the morning happens because of irritants in the air. Perhaps your fur babies have shed some fur or the room is simply dusty. You try your best to avoid experiencing allergic rhinitis, where all you do is clean and clean, and clean. But sometimes it isn't enough and that's when you bring out the big guns: allergy medicine, or specifically, Claritin.

Here's how Claritin can help you relieve your allergy symptoms.
When the symptoms get pretty irritating and a hassle to your otherwise good day, you can pop a tablet of Claritin's Loratadine to relieve yourself of them. Just 15 minutes in, the tablet will have already blocked histamine receptors and can last you up to 24 hours without having to suffer from allergies. Ah, what a dream, right? And get this, it's non-drowsy. So you won't be too sleepy or lethargic upon intake. This medicine tablet may be your saving grace during bouts of allergic rhinitis but just as the commercials say, "If symptoms persist, consult your doctor."
The Claritine Loratadine 10mg (P35) is available online and at Watsons branches nationwide.
Disclaimer: One tablet of Claritin's Loratadine is only intended for adults and children six years old and above (with body weight greater than 30kg).
