Claratin Children's

[Sophie♥Hatter]

My DD was looking at the bottle of Jacob's Claratin and said she thought it was very interesting they left out the inactive ingridiants ON THE BOTTLE. They were on the box, http://www.claritin.com/pdf/readtheb...hild_fruit.pdf .

I am VERY upset that I have been giving him medicine that contains propylene glycol (http://www.natural-health-informatio...ne-glycol.html) I am going to print the inactive ingredients and bring it to the DD so she can let me know what she thinks.

She had said the additives in things can be very bad for kids and to always check the inactive ingredients used in meds.

Some of the other "inactive" ingredients:
Edetate Disodium: http://www.drugs.com/mtm/edetate-disodium-edta.html
Glycerin: http://www.pioneerthinking.com/glycerin.html

Hmm, well that makes me glad I give T adult Zyrtec. He is prescribed an adult dose, so I just buy the adult kind and he swallows it.
You are talking about Claritin Syrup, right? Yucky, I had no idea.
