Allergic cold

2018-06-22 16:42:03
I get frequent bouts of cold with sneezing, running nose, watery eyes and mild wheezing during June -October. Allegra 180 mg seems to help. After 3 days of usage, the symptoms are subdued for few days and then it returns. Question is : can I continue Allegra 180 again~ what's the restrictions on usage in terms of continuous usage and duration?

Hello, You seem to have allergic rhinitis. Best way to prevent would be to find out the allergen to stay away. You can go allergy panels in your area which test for allergies to common food items and dust particles. As far as allegra is concerned, it is relatively safe and can be used for longer durations
