Re: New meds

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

Let me first say you are all wonderful. I'm fairly new to the group and

have posted a few times. I just had a visit to my GP and she's sending me

to a CIU clinic in Toronto. (hearing from a few of you, I'm so happy I have

a great Doctor) She also gave me 2 new drugs (maybe not new in the US but

here in Canada), I'll be taking them today and I'll let you know how they

work for me.

First one is Aerius 5mg. I'll be taking one first thin in the morning. And

then be taking Reactine 20mg in the evening. I hope this keeps them at bay

for a while. The hives aren't so bad today, but my hands and wrists are red

and swollen......go figure!

Hope everyone has a hive-free day!

Hi ,

I have been taking reactine " extra strength 10mg " . for a couple of years

now. I take one only if I have to go outside some time during the day. Along

with coats of sunscreen and lots of clothes. Here in B.C. reactine is sold

over the counter. After looking at your post you said reactine 20 mg. Is

that a prescription dosage? Also I am curious about Aerius and if you have

any info on it. I've never heard of it, please keep me up to date as to how

it works for you.
