My son is on it on a regular basis. He seems better.

Well, as a test cast of one, I could not survive without

Allegra and its precedents; my cf doctor recommended it,

but it probably depends on the individual and on the indi

vidual doctor.

Hi ,

My daughter age 19 has been on antihistimines all the time for years. She

has severe allergies to dust, molds, grasses, trees, pollen, animals,. etc.

Without the antihistimines she sneezes and wheezes constantly. Right now she is

on claritin D and has been for quite a while. I think it is OK for pwcf to be on

antihistimines if they are allergic and need them.

love,

M

Does anyone else use Zyrtec or another antihistimine on a regular

basis?

Thanks!

I use Zyrtec! I don't have CF but I carry one gene. My eyes water all of the

time and it also helps me from not being so phlegmy. Deb A

My son was put on zyrtec 3 tears ago. He takes it year round. Seems to

help. We've tried taking him off a couple times but the symptoms come right

back,

even if it's not allergy time.

Hi ,

a has been on Clarinex for a year and a half now and Singulair,

which is a leukotriene blocker not an anti-histimine, and so far so

good.
