Hi @aroyster78 Regular Claritin is the only form doctor’s suggest for the bone pain associated with Neulasta injections. The DM in Claritin-DM is a decongestant. That wouldn’t add any benefit for your sister.

Usually 1 Claritin daily, works really well. If it’s not enough your sister may need a pain medication to help. Has she talked with her doctor about prescribing a pain med?
