Hi, @radinski - I have allergies and have taken various medications over the years. I've not happened to see a connection of weight gain and those meds. However, I've definitely not taken all the allergy medications out there, and everyone's bodies react a little differently to each medication.

Wondering what allergy medication you're referring to? Are you or a loved one taking it and noticing weight gain?

I’m currently taking Claritin brand and a store brand Loratadine. Maybe it’s just coincidence but noticed that I put on 2-3 lbs in the last 6 weeks, about the time I began taking it. Also, allergy meds cause me to have dry eyes. I’ve tried Zyrtec in the past but cold turkey off of it caused me to itch even worse for two weeks.
