Tingtong2mut Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 This time of year I need to take a one a day pill for my allergies. I been taking Cetrazine (Thai knock off of Zyrtec) and been getting sleepy. I was under the belief were a non drowsy medication, which apparently is not the case. Looks like I need Claritin. Both one a day allergy pills but different drugs, Zyrtec (Cetrazine) is faster acting apparently but cause sleepiness in some. Claratin is Loratadine. Works slower but no drowsiness. Has anyone found a Claritin (Loratadine) equivalent here? Would prefer a Thai version if available. I think I did see Claritin brand once here but was upwards of 600 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Lorsedin, Loratadine. I pay about 40 baht for a card of 10 tabs. Just ask at some pharmacies. I think boots also carry their own generic brand of loratadine. About 100 baht for 10 tabs. Edited May 22, 2020 by userabcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been walking around in a daze in the morning. I thought it was because I quit smoking a few weeks ago. I guess the smart thing to do would be take one at night before bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
