Hey Dr. Bruce, et all. Do you have a suggestion for a good antihystamine that I take without fear of reprimand from the FAA?

Not Dr. Bruce but I take Claritin. Works pretty good and is allowed by the Feds.

Hismanal, Claritin, and Allegra are allowed.

I have tried claritin with no relief. I have had a stuffed nose for over a year and am becoming concerned. Any Ideas?

Ug, Max, this one needs a visit to the Otolaryngologist. This can become a disqualifying problem if not dealt with- but in any case it can be VERY VERY uncomfortable upon descent. Sinus block, if it occurs IS DISABLING.

There are a number of good ones in Peoria/Pekin. Email me if you want more.
