I am 39yrs female my ears and throut iche every nite can I use deselex because the pill I was taking they drug me. ## Hello, Pokza! How are you? This will only help if your problem is due to an allergy. It's an antihistamine and it may cause side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth, so it may make you feel drugged, too. What pill were you told to take? What did they say was causing the itching sensation?

I have acute and ongoing rhinitis. I was on Flucatizone, but now I have an irritated, burning and bleeding nose. Will Deselex help for my chronically blocked nose? I use Afrin, but find it is a bit harsh to use frequently. ## Hi Rita, Sorry to hear about the ongoing symptoms you're having. From what I could gather, Deselex (Desloratadine) is an antihistamine used for treating or preventing allergy symptoms, such as sneezing or a runny/stuffy nose, etc. Apparently it works by blocking histamine, the substance in the body that is known for causing these allergic symptoms. So it would seem to me that you have the right medication. Is this something your doctor recommended? ## No it was not recommend by my doctor. I was just wondering if it could be an alternative for the Flucatizone wh...

Hi I am allergic to all 8 test on the standard allergy test. I've been using mainly Deselex the past 8 years but want to stop since I am also using a nose spray. Rather I stopped drinking it 4 days ago and now I am itching all over. I rarely itched before starting the chronic antihistamine. How long is the itching going to last and is there anything else I can take to alleviate itching that is not an antihistamine? I had a bath in E45 oil last night and it is not really working.

I have been taking Deselex for the last year, non-stop, due to allergic rhinitis and the high pollen count here in Cape Town (SA). This month, i did not get to the chemist in time, and within 3 days, my body was covered with acute urtiricaria (hives)... how can this be possible, especially since I have never suffered from this condition before, and my diet has not changed at all.??? ## Well, we aren't medical professionals, so we can't provide a diagnosis, but there are several possibilities. It could be caused from a new allergy, they can develop suddenly, or it could be a withdrawal or rebound symptom from suddenly not having your usual dosage of this medication. This often happens when people stop a medication abruptly that they have been taking for a prolonged period of time...

I have had a rash on my lower legs for two months. The rash has now on my back and bottom. I have tried everything I can think of to stop the itching. I was prescribed to antibiotics by my doctor and different creams. Nothing has helped. It is now nearly three months with this problem. Will deselex help? ## Hello, Charmaine! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're experiencing. It may help, it is an antihistamine that's used to treat or prevent allergic reactions. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Have you tried changing your laundry detergent? Or trying a different skin soap? It could be something like that causing the rash.
