Optimal medication for simple stuff
Disclaimer
- personal
- target audience - strictly myself
Main
- It is weird I have reached 25 years of age and still haven't figured out optimal medications for myself.
- Commonly used by people
- Cough, chest congestion - Dextromethorphan, Diphenhydramine, Ambroxol, Guaifenesin
- Allergic rhinitis - Cetirizine, Levocetirizine, Fexofenadine
- What I typically use
- Probably Diphenhydramine ("Benadryl cough formula" in India, benadryl has multiple variants) and Fexofenadine ("Allegra" in India)
- But most importantly, I have not actually A-B tested these against the alternatives. I guess I fall sick infrequently enough that I didn't bother to actually make notes.
