The inactive ingredients in this product are aspartame, croscarmellose sodium, fruit flavors, magnesium stearate and sodium stearyl fumarate. To use the product you should be 6 years or older and the dose would be one tablet every twenty four hours.

Suffering badly from an allergy attack brought on by my new cat, I placed one of these tablets on my tongue. Within minutes the tablet dissolved on my tongue and left a pleasant taste in my mouth. The tablet that I used was flavored with citrus and mint. I sat down and waited to see if my symptoms would begin to dissipate. After about fifteen minutes passing, I started to feel the itchy feeling go away. The next thing to clear up was the sneezing, water eyes and then the cough. Within an hour I felt better and back to my old self. The product was also great because it was non-drowsy, so I was able to stay awake and alert. This product did help with all my symptoms and I don't have anything negative to report about it. I will continue to keep this product in my medicine cabinet for quick allergy relief. CVS non-drowsy allergy relief works great and I highly recommend it to others.
