Allergy relief for adults and kids: non-drowsy antihistamines, nasal sprays, children's liquids, saline care and natural options from Reactine, Claritin, Aerius, Benadryl, Salinex, HydraSense and more, shipped across Canada.

Choosing an allergy medicine

Non-drowsy antihistamines (cetirizine, loratadine, desloratadine): once-daily relief from sneezing, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes, with little or no drowsiness for most people.
Sedating antihistamines (diphenhydramine): effective but cause drowsiness; don't drive or drink alcohol while taking them.
Allergy and sinus combinations: add a decongestant for a blocked nose and sinus pressure.
Nasal sprays: corticosteroid sprays treat ongoing nasal allergy symptoms; saline sprays rinse away pollen and soothe dryness.
Kids' formats: liquids, chewables and syrups with children's doses. Always use the dosing device that comes with the product and choose by your child's age and weight.

Tips for allergy season

For seasonal allergies, starting treatment as symptoms begin, or just before your usual season, often works best. Keep windows closed on high-pollen days and rinse your nose with saline after time outdoors. Ask your pharmacist which option suits you, especially if you're pregnant, have a health condition or take other medications.

Emergency: swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or trouble breathing, can signal a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Use an epinephrine auto-injector if you have one and call 911.
