I have been taking fexofenadine HCL aka Allegra with out any aggravation of my PAF.

It is an antihistamine. The side effects do not list rapid or racing HR.

I would run it by your doc.

A very rare side effect of a beta blocker caused me to have urticaria and a runny nose. I no longer take beta blockers. The skin specialist doctor prescribed cetrizine hydrochloride, an antihistamine, twice a day. It works as long as I don't miss a dose. BUT my best advice is to check with your doctor first. I have permanent AF, which compared with paroxysmal AF is much slower and mainly asymptotic.

I have used loratadine fofr years wih no problems BUT always discuss with your pharmacist as these people should know about any contraindications.

See my reply below?

My doc prescribed cetirizine hydrochloride once a day which was the only one advised with propafenone which I was taking at the time. I take it every day still but have to pay myself now, fortunately it is inexpensive. Antihistamines can interact so you do need to check with a pharmacist first - when I asked my doc about an interaction she told me to ask a pharmacist!

Strange since I was on propafanone for some time and took loratadine with zero problems .

[Buffafly in reply to BobD]

I know, that's why I mentioned it, it is strange. My asthma nurse as!ed the doctor what I could take with propafenone as there was an interaction issue - maybe loratidine was too expensive!

when I was in A+E with a massive reaction to Rivaoxaban they gave me Cetirizine , I have used this several times since when visiting friends that have pets and no issues.
