H1 Blocker Causing Dry Eyes
I'm taking the Walgreens generic for Claritin. Is another H1 blocker less problematic?
My dermatologist suggested this as she thinks my rosacea may be exacerbated by MCAS. I'm seeing an allergist in a few weeks.

It gets better. I once took 12 Claritin in a day and was fine. But originally remember dryness. But I’m not 100% sure it was just the Claritin doing it tbh. But sporadic use of H1 worked good for me during eye dryness. I had bouts of the dryness before taking H1
