Claritin Children's Chewables — 

I use the children claritin for my 21 month daughter who suffers from severe allergies. The Claritin did improve some symptoms but she still has a runny nose and crusty eyes all the time. However, due to her age this is the only FDA approved allergy med she can take so it will have to work..... The pills are grape chewables which she thinks the pills are candy so the must taste good and looks forward to her nightly "candy". I know you shouldn't let children believe that pills are candy but it's the only way we could get her to take them. We tried the oral suspension first but my daughter would fight tooth and nail to take it because of the taste. We ended up having more Claritin on us then in her mouth. I can purchase the pills at Walmart for about $17 for a twenty pack. So that's $25.50 per month on a drug that is not covered by insurance where I would only have a copay of $10. The pills are covered under my flex-spending account which is helpful.
