Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! Claritin has a 24-hour duration of action and is only given once a day. Several non-pharmacological measures can also help nasal hygiene with saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse can be done as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. It is a little uncomfortable but works extremely well to remove allergens and relieve congestion. Avoid keeping windows open, especially on dry and windy days After going out, it is suggested that you change your clothes and wash your hands. It is also important to avoid drying clothes outside. If the air in the house is too dry, a humidifier is suggested for your room, between 30 and 40%. Keep in mind that if you have just started Claritin, its effects may take 3 to 5 days to manifest themselves If these measures are not sufficient, I suggest talking to your doctor I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions Tom Samaha, pharmacist
