| Benefits: | | We tried various allergy medicines including zyrtec, but my son continued to have re-occurring sinuses infections and chronic nasal congestion. Then we tried clarinex. This past winter, we were sinuses infection free. The clarinex also cleared up the chronic nasal congestion. It also helps that he likes the taste of the medicine. |
| Side effects: | | None, or at least he never complained about any. |
| Comments: | | Zachary receives 1 tablespoon of clarinex daily. |
