Side by Side Comparison of: Kirkland Signature

My husband suffers from chronic congestion and pressure in his sinuses that causes hearing loss - Loratadine antihistamine is one thing that really helps clear up these symptoms, and we were so pleased to find this of Kirkland brand Loratadine for such a great price. Works amazingly, and compared to the $11 for 30 count we've purchased elsewhere or the thousands of dollars we'd have to fork over for a hearing aid, this is a great deal!

Being someone with both allergies for inside and outside,mostly dust and feathers,these work great. I do notice I might start blowing my nose a little more when I take them, but I like it. As they are clearing me out! Otherwise, I tend to get sinus pressure and we all know that becomes painful. I used to always buy these in Costo but,now that I am a couple hours away from one,I was excited to find these on here. They were sealed and not expired and work perfect! Nothing beats an allergy pill that actually works and does not make you sleepy!

I have horrible allergies and spent a fortune on Allegra and Zertec every year. This medicine is a godsend for my wallet, because it works just as well and costs so much less!If you have allergies, please try this. It helps so much!

This product works great for me. I had lots of choking episodes due to my allergy symptoms; so it was really quite stressful. Now I can breath freely and eat more comfortably. The value is amazing. Thank you, Costco for making medications affordable for people. Great product. No side effects.

Ingredient for ingredient, amount for amount, this IS Claritin. If your doctor has recommended that you take Claritin for allergies or other respiratory issues, you can't go wrong with this generic version.I put a silica-gel packet (I always save them from old prescription bottles, etc...they're great for uses just like this) in the bottle to make sure a year's worth of temperature and humidity changes didn't cause them to clump together, but even if a few of them did...this is still a year's supply for less than a 90-day supply of branded Claritin at the corner drug store.I have not noticed any change in my allergies since I switched from name-brand Claritin to this product. I'm 100% satisfied with the performance and the big money savings are just icing on the cake.Update...I've been using this for 3 years now and have not had any problem with seasonal allergies. It works just as well as Claritin for me and saves me a ton of money.

Kirkland Non-Drowsy Allerclear Loratadine Tablets work great. I am taking two instead of one each night and have virtually no springtime allergy symptoms. And I fine that two tabs nightly don't make me drowsy.

Thanks. Many thanks to seller,Amazon and delivery person for good item in its effects,value and quality. Highly recommended, good item for adults in his/her allergy by its effectiveness without any drowsy, sleeping and other side effects. Again,much thanks, to have good allergy medicine, best seller, good Amazon and lastly good delivery person to my place as waiting.

I have terrible allegies. This works better than all the allergy meds Ive tried and Ive tried them all. From pills to nasal sprays.. nothing works as well as this. I have two cats and my allergies are out of control. I take two before i start cleaning and it helps a lot.

I use these as a sleep aid instead of buying the much more expensive liquid Z-quil. Using this instead has saved me about $35 a month, is just as effective. . I also use these if I am breaking out in a poison ivy rash. I am highly allergic. This stops the allergic reaction by the time I have taken a two extra doses. The only thing I would change is that it needs a better coating. Because of that, if it sits on your tongue too long, it wI'll let taste bitter. It doesn't change the 5 star rating though, because of how much I have benefited from using this product, and how versatile it is. I will buy it again

These work just the same as the kind you buy in the pharmacy or wherever for so much less. With a price like these I can't afford to keep buying them anywhere else! They do the same as any brand of Benadryl and I save money. It's a win win.

I suffer from year around allergies which cause drippy nose, itchy eyes and a discomfort in the sinuses. Previously I had used OTC benedryl from the drug store with fairly good results. These are as close as I've found to that product. Much easier on the pocketbook.

I love these. Affordable and helpful. I have allergies and happen to own a cat who likes to jump on my bed. Bad combination. These make my eyes less itchy and help me fall asleep. I have been out of school for about a month now and thanks to these my sleeping is better now that I am home all day. See, it's usually on summers where my sleep is CRAZY OUT OF CONTROL. But nope. Not with these. My sleep is almost too good (8pm-5am as opposed to 10am-7pm). I have given these to my grandpa who gets rashes and is told by his doctor to take Benadryl. He also can't sleep well and they help him with that too. His rashes are disappearing and, for being a diabetic, it's kind of a big deal to see them healing up and fading so nicely without any new ones.

It works. But during peak allergy season it doesn't last all 24 hours. I have to try to plan to take it at just the perfect time so that it's working when I need it most. Which... can be mighty hard to do. Especially since you can only take one pill every 24 hours.

I take mine in the morning with my coffee. When my allergies get bad I need another around lunch time, 1-2 p.m. We have cotton wood trees that make it look like it's snowing, this stuff saved me many miserable days.

Well let's start off with the obvious pro: price. These are insanely cheap for a year's supply of allergy medicine! Next up, quality. I feel that the Kirkland Signature works as well as the brand name version.The con (there's only 1): for me, they don't work 24 hours. I have indoor and outdoor allergies and loratadine does help them but I still have moderate symptoms. But, better than nothing, that's for sure!

It does what it's supposed to do and the pills appear to have the same markings/codes on them to identify as all others I have tried. Where it seems to fall short is that they are a bit short dated. Sure, you get 365 pills, 1 year, right? When I bought it, the clock was already practically ticking for me. I wish I had ordered it RIGHT before I ran out of the prior batch. The batch I bought expires 03/15 (I ordered it in December of 2013 and still had enough until march). I really wish they would post PDF files with shelf dates like some websites do. One time, I ordered from another website (Vit-C w/echinasia drops) a year's supply, they sent me that year's supply alright, but the entire batch was to expire 6 months after purchase. I ended up returning 1/2 of the batch to them and gave them a tongue lashing for shipping potentially expiring goods.In any case, if I forget to take this, I have problems, so at least I know they are working.

I moved to the country last year and with that came lovely seasonal allergies that I have not had since I was a teenager. I was miserable and could barely go outside, which for me, is a depressing thing. I looked on Amazon to see if I could find a decent price on Claritin, but I stumbled across these instead. The price was great and several people said it was comparable to Claritin, so I decided I would give it a try. Also Kirkland brand usually puts out great quality at a great price.So far they work really great, no more itchy watery eyes, sneezing and runny noses, so I am very thankful for that. I think the only con I have is that they do not last 24 hours for me. I would say it's closer to 15 or 16 before I start to feel crummy again. Either way you can't beat the price and if I have to take 2 some days, I'm okay with that.

It works the same as claritin for a fraction of the price.One thing that disappointed me though: I received the item on April 11, 2014 and the expiration date is April 15, 2015. I don't take it every day, maybe about half the year when seasonal allergies get the best of me. I was hoping to stretch this out to last a couple of years, but they sneakily gave me a bottle with exactly a 1 year window before expiration. Still worth it at the price, but don't count on stretching it since you have no control over the expiration date.

bought this for my dog...he has allergies to grass. The recommended dosage is 1-Mg per Pound... I found my dog needed 3 pills but does not weigh 75 lbs... but he is all muscle.. so I would suggest being mindful of dosage as it may vary from recommended amount.

Great pricing! I got these for my pitbull because he has a jawbreaker sized tumor near his stomach. The vet told me to give him 3x25mg for his 60lb size every 12 hrs. But I tried that & he couldn't keep them down. So I only give him one dose per 24 hr instead of 2 doses. He still itches some & scratches himself raw in a few spots, but overall I believe it's helping him a lot. I put them in 3 pieces of hot dog so he'll eat them. I really wish they wouldn't put that pink color on them. It runs easily just by touching the pills. Very unnecessary. They are just trying to mimic Benadryl's pills.

This over the counter anti-histamine always works for me but it does cause drowsiness in me so I make sure to use it in the evening about 30 minutes before I want to go to sleep.

Seem to work as well as the brand name and extremely inexpensive. I highly recommend this product as a medical provider myself.

Happy to have found such a large bottle of diphenhydramine at a reasonable price. Our dog takes it, with the veterinarian's permission, for seasonal allergies. Works great to stop itching and prevents those painful hot spots from licking. Generic is just as effective as name brand and much more affordable.

I use this product for sleep (2-3 capsules). If you ever use the product called Simply Sleep and look at the label, you'll see that it's nothing more than diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg - aka Benadryl, the world's oldest antihistamine.The product seems to work exactly the same as Simply Sleep or Benadryl, but I will say that for some reason I find the bright hot pink color of the pills off-putting. It just makes them seem especially generic and cheap - kind of that "Made in a Questionable Overseas Factory" effect. Why not just make them white, or slight blue like all other variations of this drug? I know this sounds strange, and it's not enough to make me not use the product, but I just find the color slightly repellent for some reason.

I began purchasing these in 2016 and they seemed to work decently for my son during the spring and fall, when his allergies are at their worst. Unfortunately, this year, they don't seem to be doing much of anything for him. I know people can become somewhat immune to allergy medications...it's happened to my husband multiple times, but I was hoping these would last longer than a year.If anybody has any recommendations for seasonal allergies, please comment below! Thanks.

I ordered this item last summer. It contained 365 tablets each of which was supposed to provide 24 hour relief. I expected it was a year's supply. However I was most distressed to learn that the expiration date was 2/17. So almost half of the tablets were wasted for me.

Great product, about the only thing that works for me. I have used them all Flonase, nasonex etc... The reason I only give it 3 stars is the SHORT shelf life (at least from the vendor I bought from). I bought a years worth and it expires 9 months later!! NOT cool! Check you stock and rotate!

Product works just fine for my year-round allergies. Price is great compared to competitors. The only reason for my three star rating is the expiration. 360 pills directed on the bottle to take one pill per day. To me, I was disappointed the expiration was 7 months from the current date, as over 100 pills are likely to go to waste.

I used Allegra before switching to Claritin per my DR recommendation because Allegra made my kidneys hurt. It's not been as effective as Allegra but kinder to my kidneys, they are no longer in pain.As far as how this generic one compares to Claritin I cannot attest, because Claritin is so pricey I couldn't afford to buy it.

I got these since I have a friend who owns cats, which I am allergic to. These keep me from wanting to scratch my face off whenever I visit him. However, I've also tried taking these for seasonal allergies, and I've found they're not helpful for every different type of pollen. The package is a great value though; it should be enough to last me about two years at this rate. (I don't take one every single day, though - only when I'm around animals or there's a lot of pollen in the air.)

Got these for my dog's allergies- they're okay, nothing phenomenal. She still seems to itch/scratch so much- feel sorry that she is going through this. Although my allergies are pretty bad currently, too. Achoo!

Ask my son in law (a physician) regarding this product and he suggested I take it at bedtime as it encourages sleep and buy another for the waking hours!

ok

Works when it comes to my allergy symptoms, but makes me SO sleepy. I wouldn't recommend using this before doing something that requires mental work or focus, but it'd be great if you have night-time allergies and are getting ready for bed anyway.

Helping me fall asleep, as directed by my physician who doesn't like prescribing sleeping pills

I got these because they were so much cheaper than ordering zzz-quil. They don't work nearly as well, I think it's because these are caplets and the zzz-quil is a gel cap. I'd rather pay more money for a more effective product.

It initially seemed to work okay, but I'm still having a lot of sneezing, phlegm, itchy/watery eyes, and an itchy nose. It keeps me up at night.I recommend instead Walmart's Equate Loratadine 10 mg. It's a more effective formula, and the same medication and dosage. It removes my symptoms, unlike this product.

Bought these mid August 2016 and the expiration date on the product is December 2016. This is a one year supply, for one person - and that is how I intended to use it. However, for 8/12 months I will be using expired medication. I know it is not a big deal... but I would not have purchased this if I knew it was going to expire so soon.

Got the item on time but it expires in September of 2016!!! I guess it's not meant to last 365 days... Very disappointed. You'd think someone would check that before shipping an item with an expiration date.

I was really hoping these pills would work well for me, but unfortunately, they haven't. I've been using Claritin, for a while, now, but I couldn't use it as much as I needed to, because of the cost. The price of the AllerClear is amazing, but it doesn't really work, for me. While I do notice a very slight improvement in my allergies, it's nowhere near enough. Maybe part of the reason this doesn't work as well is because I'm used to taking the dissolving pills (RediTabs), and these are the kind you swallow?As for positives: the pills are very small, aren't hard to swallow (minimal sticking to the tongue), have no real taste to them, and the bottle is small enough to throw in my purse.I'm glad these work well for some people. Maybe I'll try the generic version of Zyrtec...

I don't know how it's possible since they're the same ingredients as the HEB generic version of this I used to buy but I swear they're not as effective. I take my pill right before bed so I'm not congested while I sleep. With the generic I never woke up congested. With this one I do. Takes care of the rest of my symptoms except for the back of the throat thing. I have to take Flonase with this to get rid of that.

Would not buy again as it does absolutely nothing for me. I had been using an allergy med, also called "Loratadine" for over 2 years now and even though it was not 100% (I don't think any of them are), it brought me a lot of relief over the seasons. Sorry to say this one can't even come close. All over sudden, I get daily sneeze attacks, accompanied by a runny nose, I get dry caughs, and worst of all, I don't believe that this one is non-drowsy. Since taking it, I noticed a get a weird "whoozy" feeling ever so often throughout the day. It comes and goes very quickly but is something I never experienced before. I do not take any prescribed medication that an allergy pill would interfere with. I'm really disappointed as the reviews I read were all positive.

They are not as effective as the Wal-Mart brand. When the seasons change I itch really bad at night. This medicine dont really alleviate it unless I have yo take 2 which I don't want to be really drowsy the next day.

Medicine should never come opened but great price

This doesn't seem to have any affect...I am not sure why...

Who knew it contained talc (a known carcinogen) and titanium dioxide (a suspected carcinogen if taken internally), not to mention the usual dyes! I won't buy this again.

I don't think it actually works. I have allergies pretty badly, and since taking this, I don't notice it actually working. So yeah....maybe that's why it's so cheap. Couldn't return because I didn't open right away, so missed the 30 days return policy unfortunately.

These pills will cause you to feel extremely drowsy and eventually fall asleep if you're comfortable enough. It works if you do not have intense allergy. Not worth the drowsiness.

Expires 5/17. No good

This is a lesson in why you don't order medicine on the Internet, these pills expire in 6 months. Way before I will be able to use even 1/3 of them. Great medicine but I won't order online again.

Don't be cheap, just buy Cetirizine. We were all miserable trying to switch from "Zyrtec" to this.

This did not work for me at all. I have used other Kirkland products that worked.

This particular allergy medicine just doesn't seem to work for me. Won't be buying it again.

I am not pleased with these, I do seem to be having a lot more sneezing than other brands I have tried. Will not buy again.

Product arrived in tact but expires in October of this year so beware!

Don't work even though the expiry date is in 2017

Use benadryl and generic versions often. This doesnt work. No returns allowed either

This medication was for my husband but I didn't see any results

Why tape over the expiration date!??! Kinda shady don't you think? Tore the date off trying to get the freaking tape OFF! Now I don't know if they are safe to take!

Bottle label was blurred and mostly illegible. Looked like whole bottle had fallen into liquid. Seal wasn't intact so had to return it.
