Good morning .14 year old daughter is taking 'Clatra 20 mg' 1 tablet a day for four months. Recently, she began to feel tired every few days, she says that she lacks strength. Could this be related to the long-term lack of this drug. Clatre is prescribed from a dermatologist for chronic urticaria. What kind of over-the-counter drug can I buy for urticaria?

Fatigue and lack of strength can have many causes. It is possible that these symptoms are associated with long-term use of Clatra. Perhaps it is worth consulting a doctor - a specialist may decide to reduce the dose of the drug to 10 mg per day. Perhaps such a dose will be sufficient so that urticaria does not occur - at the same time, reducing the dose will minimize the risk of side effects. Of the second generation antihistamines to which Clatra belongs without a prescription, you can buy, for example, https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/86413/zyrtec-ucb-tabletki-powlekane/apteki?pvid=28833#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/4568/amertil-bio-tabletki-powlekane/apteki?pvid=115201#internetowe However, because they are drugs from the same group - during their use the body's reaction may be similar. To minimize the risk of daytime sleepiness, Clatra can be taken at night. If, despite this, the daughter will feel drowsy - it is worth consulting a doctor, reducing the dose of the drug can give a positive result.
