What users say
Verbatim quotes, shortened only — each links to the original discussion.
“Just a heads up that loratidine blocks the monocarboxylate transporter, which increases lactic acid build up, and could reduce gains in the gym and cause muscle pain.”
“I take magnesium, taurine, nac and strangely enough loratadine for me. Some antihistamines can relieve gad in some people.”
