How long after starting Claritin before one should feel some results?
ByBad case of allergies. Mostly the nose is involved. Just started Claritin OTC 3 days ago, and have’nt seen any benefit, thus far.

I have found that Claritin doesn’t work for me. I think I’ve built up an immunity since it was often given to me when I was younger, and it worked more then. I have better/faster results with Sudafed.

That seems a little weird, think it’s supposed to work in one day (but i’m not sure) it should say on the box when it’s supposed to start working. but you may want to check with your doctor on that, perhaps he can prescribe you with something that works better for you

I used to take Claritin and it took a week for me to see results. It worked about 6 months for me and then stopped working altogether.
Nasal sprays: Nasonex, Flonase, Astelin, Afrin, Zycam

Pills: Tavist, Allegra, Zyrtec, Chlortrimeton, Singulair
Hope this helps. Good luck!
