This product is a good value; Hospitology provided excellent service and a smooth transaction. One thing to note, the waterproof version of the mattress covers seems much stouter than the non-waterproof. However, both seem more than adequate... Also, I noticed a slight yellow hue which the representative from Hospitoligy assured me was fire proofing and would no longer be yellow after its first wash. There were no odd odors one might expect from a fireproofing treatment. The Zippers also seem very tight; it actually took some time to get the air out of the cover once I had zipped it on all the way... Hospitoligy also includes sticky backed felt pads to use on the sharp edges of a bed frame to protect the cover from potential ripping.

We bought this problem because we had a small bedbug infestation. It comes with two twin size covers to accommodate a split king box spring. They were slightly larger than our box spring halves but still fit well enough to use. Along with a mattress pad, our bug problem has been nearly eliminated. I would recommend this item.

I always want to buy products on amazon based on the reviews of others. I have purchased this one along with the Mattress encasement. Both these products are really amazing especially for those who do not want the bugs to enter into ur mattress or box spring. This product fully covers the entire box spring and the zip lock system is an excellent idea to keep the bugs from entering. The installation of the encasement is very easy and smooth. This product is completely worth its cost.

This review is from: Kirkland Signature Non Drowsy Allerclear Loratadine Tablets, Antihistamine, 10mg, 365-Count (Health and Beauty)

I have a very highly sensitive mold allergy which was making me break out in hives everyday. I was treating the symtopms with Benadryl, but that wasn't a feasible solution since I have to work and drive and Benadryl put me to sleep everytime. A friend reccomended Allerclear to me and I'm glad to report that it worked like a charm. Please be aware that it did take a good 3 to 4 days for it to fully stop the breakouts, but I'm hive-free & awake now. And the price? Come on....you can't beat it!!

Enough for 1 year - This is the generic for Claritin, March 6, 2011

This review is from: Kirkland Signature Non Drowsy Allerclear Loratadine Tablets, Antihistamine, 10mg, 365-Count (Health and Beauty)

I'm allergic to pollen from junipers and maple trees and I'm also owned by two indoor cats. Need I say more? Before taking Claritin, and then switching over to this generic, I hadn't been able to breath freely for the past 8 years. I tried several of the latest prescription medications that my doctor gave me and they didn't work. I was going to give up and just put up with a stuffy nose, post nasal drip and a nagging cough for the rest of my life when I decided to buy a box of Claritin. It worked but it was expensive for long-term use.

This AllerClear is generic Claritin (loratadine). It works just as well and saves me way over $500.00 a year if I buy this generic brand instead. I haven't seen generic loratadine locally that is this inexpensive. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I purchased this item off of Amazon thinking it was a really good deal for 400 tablets of generic Benadryl. As I was walking through my local Sam's club (Members Mark is Sam's private brand) I discovered this price is anything but good. The same exact package was on the shelf for $3.28. If you have a membership to Sam's club save yourself the time and money and purchase it there.

Also it took 7 days to get my shipment even with Amazon Prime.

The product itself is really good. It is the same active ingredient in name brand Benadryl. This is perfect for my dog who has spring/summer allergies. It works really nicely because it is in a bottle instead of the blister packs that the smaller count Benadryl packages.

My dog has allergy's(the same as we humans can get)and she also was getting rash spots due to them also until her vet told me to start giving her this,she can take it up to 3 times aday if needed.I've been doing as directed by her vet for almost 2 yrs. now and she is doing really great because of it,my sister Kim's dog also takes this for the same reasons after her vet also put her on it and has helped out greatly also.If your pet also has dry/flakey skin and scratches and their fur is dull,you need to ask your vet if your pet can take this and fish oil capsules,it also works true wonders.

Diphenhydramine is the Generic Name for Benadryl, April 22, 2007

This review is from: Diphenhydramine HCl 25 Mg Allergy Medicine and Antihistamine Compare to Active Ingredient of Benadryl® Allergy Generic - 400 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. It is used to block histamine release in the body. Histamine causes all manner of allergy symptoms: stuffy or runny nose, sinus inflammation, scratchy throat, itching, and hives.

Diphenhydramine is the ingredient in Benadryl, although Benadryl will cost much more than diphenydramine, since Benadryl is a brand-name drug. It is important to realize that both forms are equally equivalent in efficacy. Therefore, it makes sense to purchase the generic equivalent.

A major side effect of diphenhydramine is sedation/drowsiness. It will definately make you tired and sleepy. However, this side effect can be used as an advantage, as the medication can also be marketed as a sleeping aid. It will help you fall asleep faster and generally acts all night long. In fact, many people report a "hangover" morning effect from taking diphenhydramine the night before.

Thus, diphenhydramine has two main uses: that as an allergy medication and as a sleeping aid. Companies often add diphenhydramine to their analgesic products, such as Tylenol, to give both pain relief and a sleeping aid (Tylenol PM).

Diphenhydramine has other troubling side-effects that bear mentioning. First, is should not be used in those with narrow-angle glaucoma, or anyone with stomach problems, such as continual stomach upset or ulcers of the stomach. Second, diphenhydramine can cause a retention of urine, especially in those that have an enlarged prostate. Anyone with prostate problems should avoid diphenhydramine like the plaque. Don't take diphenhydramine with any other depressants, as the effects are additive. The same holds true for alcohol; don't take both at the same time.

The usual adult dosage is 25-50 mg, 3-4 times a day. Use the lowest effective dose to treat your symptoms. Pregnant women should avoid any antihistamines, as the medication has been known to cause birth defects.

While this is a great medication for allergies, there are better, newer antihistamines that do not produce the drowsiness that diphenhydramine does. (check out Claritin as a better, but more costly substitute).

This review is from: Healthier Without Wheat: A New Understanding of Wheat Allergies, Celiac Disease, and Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance. (Paperback)

I was lucky to find this book at the library. It was so much better than other books I've come across on similar topics, that I wanted to buy it. I have self-diagnosed myself with the problems mentioned in the book. I feel like a new person, with energy, now that I avoid wheat.
