    Benadryl is approved, I'm not sure about Claritin though. I would stick with Benadryl if I were in the situation. GL!

    Benedryl or Claritin (or Zyrtec). Not D, like pp said. Benedryl makes me sleep, so I wouldn't take it and try to socialize.

    Benadryl, Claritin, and Zyrtec are safe. No Allegra, and nothing with decongestant in in. So regular, instead of Claritin-D.

    I was told no Zyrtec.  Claritin and Benadryl are the only two allergy meds my midwife advised me to take.  Claritin does nothing for me so Benadryl is it!

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    Unless things have changed since my pg with my son. . Zyrtec, Claritin, Benadryl and Xyzal are safe to take.  No D.  So, no Clarinex, Allergra, etc.

    I was told zyrtec is category C but Claritin is a B. another option if you have allergies like me is Singulair it's also Category B.
