That's the only antihistamine I have atm. Desloratadine. Is it good to take with Codeine so I reduce allergic reactions like itchiness and other severe ones?

Can it prevent anaphylactic shock?
 
If you want to reduce itchiness, try dosing on a full stomach. The itchiness increases exponentially with the speed in which it kicks in. Full stomach = codeine kicks in more gradually = less histamine release.

That said, I've never heard of Desloratadine, but it certainly can't hurt.
 
Yes, it will work! Take 10 mg of desloratadine about 45-60 minutes before taking the codeine and it should definitely reduce a lot of the itchiness and other histamine-related side effects.

It is not as efficient as diphenhydramine, but it will work.
