Despite legislation passed and signed into law to increase the state's minimum wage in May of 2014, progressive groups continue to call for a higher minimum wage. The Service Employees International Union is actively organizing job walk-offs, strikes and protests, demanding a $15 per hour wage.
You marked this post as helpful! It is NOT true that Benedryl lowers blood pressure. As far as I know, the only OTC allergy medication recommended for people with hypertension is Claritin (not Claritin-D). Zyrtec can be used as long as blood pressure is monitored closely and the drug is stopped when blood pressure is adversely affected.
Steroids are highly effective drugs for allergies, but they must be taken regularly, often daily, to be of benefit -- even when you aren't feeling allergy symptoms. In addition, it may take one to two weeks before the full effect of the medicine can be felt. Over-the-counter nasal steroids: Nasacort Allergy 24HR and Flonase Allergy Relief. 2  Inhaled steroids: Azmacort, Flovent, Pulmicort, Asmanex, Q-Var, Alvesco, and Aerobid are used to treat asthma. 3  Advair and Symbicort are inhaled drugs called bronchodilators that combine a steroid with another drug to treat asthma.
