So. I am a Bzz Agent. I signed up with BzzAgent many years ago to give my opinion on new products, website, services, etc.This time around I received coupons to try out Claritin-D. Claritin-D is like gold in pill form around my house. So I was well aware of it’s lovely allergy related decongesting abilities. This promotion, however, was to make people aware that you can use Claritin-D not just for allergy related congestion, but for standard cold congestion as well. (Un)Lucky for me, my partner had a cold. A full on bona fide cold bordering on flu. His congestion was so bad he sounded like he was drowning at night and completely stuffed up during the day. Our plan was to keep him drinking hot liquids (lemon, fresh grated ginger, and honey in hot tea/water) during the day to help with the cough and sore throat and a nice Claritin-D to keep his nasal passages clear at night. This way his system wasn’t bombarded with several different medications (cough, headache, sore throat, sneezing, etc). And it seemed to work! Claritin-D kept him breathing at night with little problem, just like it does when cedar fever hits the area.
We both know how well Claritin-D works, but never really considered it for cold congestion, opting instead for multi-symptom medications which apparently don’t work as well.
The Good: Claritin-D works as well as it ever has.
The Bad: It’s still a hassle to have to go to the pharmacy to get it.
The Super Annoying: The coupon I used was for $10 off. It required a manager override for it to go through. Unsure if this is because of the amount off or because it was for Claritin-D.
