Question:
Allergy: What is an over the counter decongestant?
Is there an over the counter decongestant that is non-drowsy by chance?
Answers:
Benadryl and Claritin are NOT decongestants. They are antihistamines. They fight the allergy symptoms, but do not un-stuff your nose.
Nasal sprays are often more effective for that.
The best decongestant out there is Sudafed... or, for a generic brand look for the ingredient pseudoephedrine.
It's hard to find in a 12-hour form, because people use it to make meth. You have to sign for it now.
There is a new substitute for it called phenylephrine, which you will find in some of the new cold medications.
Here is a list of what is available out there:
