- had not taken Clarinex or Allegra within the previous year;
- were 18 years of age or older;
- had negative urine test (hCG) for females of childbearing potential;
- for women of childbearing potential, agreed to use a medically accepted method of birth control;
- were free of any clinically significant disease (other than SAR) that would interfere with study evaluations.
Exclusion
- were pregnant or nursing;
- had allergic or idiosyncratic reaction to antihistamines;
- had current or history of frequent, clinically significant sinusitis or chronic purulent nasal discharge;
- had rhinitis medicamentosa or nasal structural abnormalities (including large nasal polyps and marked septal deviation) that significantly interfered with nasal airflow;
