While the provided reference lists several tablets commonly used for itching, it does not specify which one is definitively "best." The effectiveness of a specific tablet can vary from person to person.
Tablets Mentioned for Itching
According to the reference, antihistamines (allergy pills) are examples of tablets that can be used for itching. The following specific tablets are listed:
- Benadryl
- Zyrtec (cetirizine)
- Claritin (loratadine)
- Prescription Clarinex (desloratadine)
- Allegra (fexofenadine)
These tablets work by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes itching and other allergy symptoms.
Other Itch Relief Options
The reference also mentions other options for itching, specifically anti-itch creams. Topical corticosteroids are noted as helpful for small itchy areas, such as those from bug bites, and may also relieve eczema symptoms. However, these are creams applied to the skin, not tablets taken orally.
In summary, the reference provides a list of tablets used for itching, including several common antihistamines, but does not identify any single one as the "best."
