4.0 out of 5 stars RediTabs cut in 1/2 OK for youngsters...cheaper than buying children's Claritin & it's in the RediTab formula!!, August 20, 2009

If you are reading the reviews on Claritin, you probably already know it is a wonderful allergy medication, so my review isn't really on the Claritin itself. My son, who is 4, suffers from seasonal allergies. The children's Claritin works great for him, but it is so expensive that I went to our family pediatrician in search of a cheaper method. His pediatrician informed me that the childrens Claritin contains 5mg of the active ingredient, and the adult RediTabs contains 10mg...thus cutting the RediTab in half results in the same dosage as the childrens. This has been a wonderful help in paying for my son's Claritin because an adult box of 30 RediTabs lasts him 60 days for the same price as a childrens box of 20 chewable tablets. Now, I am no doctor and am only relaying to you what my childs pediatrician said was OK to do. :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Really want to love it, but...., March 28, 2012
This review is from: Claritin Children's (5mg) Grape, 20-Count Chewable Tablets (Health and Beauty)
My 4 year old daughter suffers from allergies that cause her to itch and go into coughing fits. This gets worse when she is in bed for the night. Usually I would give her the dye free liquid Children's Zyrtec, which works very well for us. I'm open to change, so this evening, instead of the Zyrtec, I gave her one of the Claritin about 20 minutes prior to tucking her in. When I gave it to her she said "Mmmm, mmmm, this tastes better than my vitamins!" Since then I heard her cough once and then nothing else. For her that is a big deal. The Zyrtec usually doesn't work that quickly and she has to deal with about 30 minutes worth of coughing before it kicks in. I can't speak to how long it works since it's only been a few hours, but so far it is working great.

There are a few concerns I have about the Claritin for children. First of all, I try to give my children medicines that are as close to natural as possible. At the very least, I would like them to be dye free and... Read more
