Comment:
After taking this medication on a daily basis for over 10 years for nasal, eye allergies I began to retain excessive water in my body along with difficulty in breathing at night. I stopped taking it for a few days and the water weight got better immediately and the trouble with the chest congestion (dry cough) is getting better.

Comment:
I was taking Drixoral until they took it off the market. After taking Claritin for about 1 month I started getting sores in both corners of my mouth and in my nasal cavity. I stopped taking it and the sores went away.
