Chlor Trimeton Allergy 12 Hour 24 Tablets

Pros: Clears up sinuses quickly and keeps them that way for 12-plus-hours, without bothersome side-effects.
Cons: Sluggish for first hour after medication began working

Background: No one medication is right for everyone. Despite Alavert working well for my mother, it does nothing for me. Zyrtec works, but leaves me with a headache. < b>Benadryl makes me go to sleep and ...

Pros: It works.





Cons: Not available until after the first of the year!!!!! BOO HOO!!!!

Chlortrimeton 12 hour is also the only thing that works well for my allergies. I have used it for years. But recently it has disappeared from the shelves. I called the manufacturer, Shering Plough, and was told it would be unavailable until after the ...

Pros: Always works
Cons: Getting hard to find

I have been using this product for over 30 years. I do not need to use it every night, but I would not want to be without having it for those nights were my allergies start to act up.

Pros: Works as advertised and for 12 hours.
Cons: Sometimes the 12 hour is hard to find in stores in the Midwest.

I have suffered from allergies and tried everything from prescription to OTC. This is the only product that alleviates my symptoms. I am extremely allergic to pollen, pet dander, and numerous airborne allergens. I had trouble finding the 12 hour in stores, thank goodness I can find it pretty easily on-line.

Pros: Best hayfever product available in my opinion.
Cons: Very scarce. Can not find it in any stores any more.

I too, have taken this stuff for more than 30 years. It is the only stuff that has ever worked 100%. My wife, who would always get prescription Allegra and found no relief, tried Clor-Trimeton and was happy to finally have something that actually worked.

Newer products from the same maker, like Claritin, don't work as well. Nor does the 4hour Chlor-Trimeton. Generic products don't even come close to the relief that Chlor-Trimeton 12hour has given me.

The biggest problem that I see is that it has become widely unavailable. Everywhere I check I see the 4mg (4 hour), but neither the 8 or 12 hour. I MEAN EVERYWHERE. I am considering buying online from Canada, but I would like to know just what has happened, that this product isn't readily available. Is Schering-Plough going to discontinue it? Then what am I going to do. Maybe I should be looking for a replacement now.

If someone can tell me where, at any large USA retailer, I can get this stuff, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Pros: Non-drowsy (for me), fast onset, stops my symptoms better than any other antihistamine.
Cons: Currently not available in my neighborhood. I have to buy it online.

Pros: The only medication that actually works for me
Cons: None for me

I've been taking the 12-hour for years and have noticed that it's been replaced by a 4-hour version in every store in my area. So in a panic I called the Schering-Plough (the MFG) and they said that the 12-hour WILL be back on the market in late 2009. They are switching manufacturing companies and will put you on a list to receive a letter when it's available again. This is great news, as this is the only product that really works for me.

Call their customer service number (800-317-2165) to be put on the list to be notified when it's back on the market.

Pros: Safe,non drowsy,effective and moderately priced. I have used it for 5 years.
Cons: Can no longer find the 12 hour Chlor Trimeton in Brand name or generic.

I can't find Chlortimeton in the stores or on the internet. I use it for my chronic sinusitis. What is the reason for its disappearance? Kathy
