@gingerw thanks yet again. I also read that some allergy OTC meds are harder on kidneys than others…is it true that Claritin is easier as it clears through the liver ? NSAIDS are problematic, so Tylenol is preferred. Juggling multiple health issues requires a lot of care !!

@nycmusic Yes, the liver enzymes are required to breakdown the ingredients in loratadine [also known as Claritin]. I do keep some on hand here. And yes, to using non-NSAIDS like Tylenol [acetominophen], and tramadol. Topical non-NSAIDS include menthol, arnica montana, and capsaicin.
