He'll want to take it before he gets to your place

Exactly, good point. My former boyfried took it 30 minutes to an hour before visiting... For a while, the cats actually lived with him while I was away at extended training for work. He then took the Claritin as prescribed and eventually his symptoms tapered (over a year or so).



I used to keep Benedryl in my medicine cabinet for visiting friends who were allergic. I'd meet them at the door with a pill and a glass of water.



I have heard that Claritin can now be bought over the counter, as mentioned in the previous post. If you don't have a Sam's Club Membership for the generic Claritin, I'd bet it's sister company Walmart would have a generic for less money...



It seemed the Claritin worked better for my former BF than the Benedryl. Benedryl made him (and other that took it) sleepier.



However, a trip to the allergist is still a good idea -- it'll let your boyfriend know what he is allergic to -- maybe more than just cats.
