Has anyone experienced AFIB related side effects with the antihistamine Claritin? I am doing well and do not want to “rock the boat”.

Hope to get some information.

Hi Pixie,

Yes, for me an automatic episode to follow; very strong correlation and have tried it numerous times. I have allergies and went to a allergist for alternatives. He was able to help me out without impacting my afib - which he knew of.

Just my take on it.

Jeff

I have been taking Claritin non-drowsy 12 hour Reditabs as needed for the past 2-3 years and have never noticed any side effects from A-Fib. I'm not sure I have ever been asked by my cardiologist or EP if I took them. But they work.
