clarinex

Antihistamines have helped alot with my IC symptoms. Zyrtec worked well for me for about 5 years. But then it stopped. I could tell because I was not only peeing more, I also got hives. I tried Clarinex and it helped but my insurance wouldn't cover it. Claritin did not help me.
Antihistamines are a non-invasive, simple treatment for IC. You try one and if it doesn't work you to another. Different ones work for different people. Many doctors have samples.
