Claritin is not pseudoephedrine. And while both drugs are helpful, neither will magically make your sinuses 100% clear if you have a bad cold. And actually, IDK if Claritin will help at all with a cold since it is an antihistamine. The stuffy nose from a cold isn’t a histamine response, right?

You need to edit/delete your comment, because it's spreading misinformation and it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about in the slightest.

Claritin is Loratadine

Claritin-D is Loratadine with added pseudoephedrine. People can buy all the non-D Claritin they want with no restrictions.

If anyone here had any reading comprehension, they would see that i specifically mentioned "behind the counter" not the fucking shelf

There’s no need to be so aggressive. And the important thing isn’t a mis communication over Claritin vs Claritin-D. The important point is that Loratadine will do fuck all for the common cold. So unless you are also having allergies, you’re taking a medication that isn’t going to help and overpaying. Just get stand alone pseudoephedrine.

Sounds like I'm dumb, appreciate the info!

Oh Ive got enough reading comprehension to take away the key detail that you're a smug asshole who talks down to people with colds and then writes paragraph essay tantrums at anyone who dares talk back clarifying a mistake on your part . how did you even come to the conclusion this person didn't know what psudo was or take anything similar? You know what- doesnt matter. Another day, another condensending ass added to the block list.

You build that echo chamber solid, no worries and apologies for the hurt feelings, but it sounds like you will eventually need to get over it or the world is going to roll you.
