Allergy meds and the pill?

Hey - I am somewhat new to this birth control thing... I KNOW that antibiotics will lessen the effectiveness of the pill...
But what about other medications? I'm sure it's fine, but what about allergy medication like claritin? I'm clear right?

I'm pretty sure you're ok with Claritin. A good place to check for interactions is http://www2.eckerd.com/content.asp?content=pharmacy%2Fdrugadvisor&cookie%5Ftest=1 There is nothing about Claritin interacting with BCPs there. It wouldn't hurt to ask your pharmacist about it too.
Good luck
