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.
For mild allergy symptoms, such as hay fever or hives, give an over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine. For stuffy nose, give an OTC decongestant. For itchy, watery eyes, use OTC allergy eye drops. For itchy allergic rash, apply cold compresses and an OTC hydrocortisone cream. 2. Follow Up. Watch for worsening symptoms, including signs of anaphylaxis. See Severe Allergic Reaction Treatment.
