Now, I just heard from ABC news that the makers are putting Clarinex on the market as a "copycat" form of Claritin, if you will. The thing is, to get Clarinex you will need a 'scription, but it's the same thing as CLARITIN, supposedly.
Well, I still need the Claritin, Claritin-D, Allegra, Nasicort (which ever pump that is  ), and something other nex...lmao
This is FYI for the sinus peeps.

Drug companies kill me.
I understand the need to make money, but direct-to-consumer advertising does play a role in healthcare cost inflation.
I was just looking at TheStreet.com, and they had an article about Clarinex saying there was "little or no difference between the drugs' efficacy." Other accounts, however, say that Clarinex lasts some 12 hours longer than Claritin.
No thanks. I would rather pay OTC than get a prescription. I'm responsible enough to take my own drugs. These days, I'm on Allegra. My doc switched me because of nerve-related hives.
