Rating: - If poison oak or poison ivy is a problem for your children
My son was having heart surgery. However, just before the scheduled date, he came down with poison ivy. It covered his 5 year old torso, arms and legs. With only two days of one-every-12 hour doses, the rash subsided and the surgery was able to go as scheduled. Check with your doctor to make sure Tavist will not interact with anything else your child is taking or negatively affect your child in ANY WAY PRIOR to taking Tavist. But for me, Tavist was a godsend.
Rating: - Tavist is the Equivalent of Claritin - both have Loratidine
Tavist (Loratidine) is a medication in the class of anti-histamines. Histamine is a chemical in our cells that is released during an allergy attack. Histamine causes all the symptoms of allergies: sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, hives, etc. Being an anti-histamine, Tavist blocks the action of histamine in the body.
Tavist is the same medication as the more popular and better known Claritin. Since they both have Loratidine as their active ingredients, both medications are equal in their ability to deal with allergy symptoms.
Both Tavist and Claritin replaced Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) as the #1 doctor prescribed allergy medication, the reason being that Tavist and Claritin do not have any drowsiness as a side-effect like Benadryl has. Benadryl has very significant sleepiness as a side-effect, and this limited its use in people who needed to operate cars, machinery, or needed to have full-attention in their jobs. The sleepiness of Benadryl was so marked, that manufacturers marketed it as a sleeping aid! (Diphenhydramine is the component in Tylenol PM or Excedrine PM, it is also in all the sleeping pill formulations). Fortunately for allergy sufferers, Tavist and Claritin have no sleepiness as a side-effect; in fact, Tavist and Claritin have virtually NO side effects, which makes them excellent medications to take if you are taking other medications as well. Plus, Tavist WORKS effectively to counter allergy symptoms.
