Found at Goodwill!

Overheard this conversation between a patient and one of my coworkers today: Patient: "Do you have Allegra-D?" Coworker: "Yeah." Patient: "Okay, I don't want that." He eventually ended up getting Claritin-D instead, but... I still can't comprehend what was going through his mind during that bit of c

In the spirit of curiosity and want to see a little bit more "fun" content" in this subreddit, I want to ask you other fine reddit pharmacists about what personal items you take into every shift you work. In my own experience, there is a list of creature comfort items (not available in the realm of

There’s some features that we use frequently that make our jobs easier and more convenient.

Does someone here have a copy of the Phase 3 clinical trials that were used to get loratadine approved in the USA? Willing to share? I've been looking around and I can't seem to find the studies. As far as I can tell, the efficacy is in the mid 40 percents for loratadine, mid 30 percents for placeb

I don't remember where I first learned it, but for the past several years I had it in my mind that diphenhydramine is more effective and quicker than cetirizine, loratadine, and the other second (or third) generation antihistamines at relieving itch and rash symptoms. Every pharmacist I've spoken to

(4 mg) What do we think about this? Be it preventative, relief or both. Here in Australia we have the brand "Periactin" and it is Sched 3 (behind the counter but without script) and comes in a 100 qty box, usually sitting with the other old fashioned / sedative systemic antihistamines, like Prometha
