The reason that Claritin, Claritin D and other allergy medications raise blood pressure is not usually due to the Loratadine component, but to pseudoephedrine. Raised blood pressure can be a consequence of any allergy medicine containing pseudoephedrine, not just Claritin.
In May every year like clockwork, my allergies kick in. My eyes water, I sneeze and my throat itches like nobodies business. Over the course of my allergy season I wind up spending over $100 on Claritin or other antihistamine based products. I hate it because, spending money on Claritin and allergy medicine is money that I could use elsewhere. Unfortunately I have a very hard time fending off my allergy symptoms so I have no choice but to spend the money on Claritin pills.
Itching: An uncomfortable sensation in the skin that feels as if something is crawling on the skin or in the skin, and makes the person want to scratch the affected area.
