Understood.
That said: of the treatments I've used, the loratadine tablets have been by far the most benign. If the choice were between an asthma attack and dry eyes, I'd take dry eyes every time. Annoying, but you don't feel on the verge of death.
You probably already know, but for others reading this thread: there are over-the-counter solutions for treating dry eyes.
By the way, I found half-tablets of loratadine worked just as well for me as the full tablets, with less in the way of the dry-eye effect.
