Is there a comparable drug to singular?
I was taking singular for allergies and can no longer afford it because of no insurance. Is there a comparable drug over the counter? Right now I am taking equate 24 hr allergy certirizine hydrochloride 10/mg antihistanmine but it makes me very sleepy.
Joyce,
Another over the counter antihistamine is Claritin/Loratidine, which is not supposed to make you sleepy. However, Zyrtec does not commonly cause drowsiness either, so the fact that you are experiencing that side effect may mean you are more susceptible. Still, the Claritin is probably worth a try. You might also try an antihistamine nasal spray and/or a nasal saline rinse, like the Netti Pot.
To your health,
Kathi

No, there is no other drug that works like singular. It has a chemical all on it's own and nothing compares to it. I have the same problem and I can see the difference in my breathing since I'm not taking it. Good Luck on finding something.
