FizzingWhizzbees said:Clarityn just got moved off P (pharmacy only) to GSL (general sale - ie you can buy it anywhere) so that doesn't really imply they've found some cause for concern with it.
The only other thing it could be is that they're not using brand name Clarityn but are using generic loratadine, which is the active ingredient in Clarityn and so works precisely the same, but is vastly cheaper than Clarityn.
If they switched medications for cost reasons it wouldn't make that much sense considering that all prescription anti-histamines (Zirtek, Mizollen, Telfast, etc) are similar in cost.

Feel free to ignore me, I'm just rambling now.

LOL...what a funny thread this is...
