Does Claritin ever stop working?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, you can become tolerant to meds. When you take Claritin, it's not getting rid of whatever you're allergic to, it's keeping your immune system from fighting it off, which is where your symptoms are originating. Your immune system can build up a tolerance over time to a certain drug so that it can then again perform it's "job" of fighting off the allergens.
You can try a different OTC med, or an herbal supplement like echinacea, zinc, or stinging nettle.
