OT message about hives - Sol

[Guest guest]

Sol, can I e-mail you off-list to find out more about how to use

ranitidine with Zyrtec to help control hives? My wife has chronic

atopic dermatitis and often breaks out in hives from foods, allergies,

stress, etc. Her allergists have been trying to control if with

Zyrtec for years, but she has break-throughs all of the time and she's

having one now with hives on her face. I read what you wrote about

adding H2 blockers like ranitidine to the Zyrtec with interest b/c she

needs to find a way to stop the hives once they have started and

Zyrtec doesn't do a good job of that. Can you point us at some good

info for how to use the two together? My e-mail is my ID @ yahoo.

Thanks,
