Loratadine is actually generic Claritin which is an antihistamine for allergies.

Heartburn meds would be antacids such as Tums, Rolaids, Mylanta, Maalox. Pepcid (famotidine) Zantac (ranitidine) Prilosec OTC (omeprazole)

You are of course quite correct, it is omeprazole that I use for heartburn it works well for me. My wife like the loratidine for her hayfever.

Thanks for fixing it for me

Donnah's list looks very much like ours.

Two items I didn't see yet:

  • Body Glide - Antifriction/chafing. Use before dives on feet were hotspots tend to develop. Areas where bathing suit/wetsuit rubs.
  • Cornstarch baby powder
