If you have allergies that affect your eyes, your nose, your chest, your breathing or your sight – Allegra D is the medication that is going to treat all of these symptoms to help you lead a more normal life.
Allegra D Usage
Allegra D is an antihistamine, nasal decongestant used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery, itchy, red eyes; sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat. Allegra (Fexofenadine) is also used for certain cases of itching skin (chronic idiopathic urticaria).
Allergies are often a seasonal problem that you can be prepared for when you have Allegra D on hand. As the allergy season approaches be sure to keep your own supply of Allegra D on hand and you will be able to sleep, play and work easier.
One thing to keep in mind when using Allegra D is that you shouldn't take an antacid like tums, rollaid, or other stomach antacids before taking Allegra D. The antacids are going to counter act the effect of Allegra D on your system.
Always take just one dose of Allegra D, if you forget to take a pill, just skip it and continue on with the next scheduled dosage. Allegra D will provide you relief up to twelve hours a day in some cases.
How To Take Allegra
Take Allegra by mouth as directed, usually twice a day. Allegra may be taken with food or milk if stomach upset occurs. Do not take antacids containing aluminum and magnesium within 2 hours of taking Allegra.
Allegra-D relieves your most frustrating allergy symptom: congestion. That's because it combines the proven seasonal allergy relief of Allegra with a powerful decongestant.
More good news: Allegra-D is fast acting. A study shows that patients taking Allegra-D feel significant relief from nasal congestion at just 60 minutes.
Allegra comes in different formulations, offering you relief from most of your seasonal allergy symptoms. So when you're suffering from seasonal allergy symptoms without congestion choose Allegra. But when congestion is a problem, choose Allegra-D – and don't let congestion frustrate you another day.
Allegra Side Effects
Nausea, stomach upset, menstrual cramps, fatigue, or cold symptoms may occur. If these effects continue or become severe, inform your doctor. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: dizziness, fainting, irregular heartbeat. Although drowsiness is uncommon at usual Allegra doses under normal circumstances, be aware that this medication may have such an effect before engaging in activities requiring alertness. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
