antihistamine pills

Also, I figured out I cannot even take some pills like Pepcid for heartburn because they cause hives all over me and are very itchy hives. The hives today were not bad itchy thankfully. Truthfully, I do not what drugs I can take since I can have either no reaction, hives or swelling. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any suggestions on how to deal with my allergies? I have many allergies but things have been fairly bearable until pollen season. Thanks.

How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (commonly sold as benedryl) is an antihistamine which makes patients drowsy, so is taken in higher doses at bedtime to make patients sleep. It is sold in 25 mg pills and as extra strength, 50 mg pills. I found a list of drug recommendations on the Janis & Friends site last year and it said that patients were allowed up to 200 mg per night while on IFN/ribivirin therapy and it's what I used for sleep throughout TX.

Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!

Yeah its an antihistamine, it will make you drowsy. Maybe your Dr can switch you?

Can I take esomeprazole,diazepam,antihistamine( Given by doc to help sleep ). Green tea capsules,cranberry pills,multivitamins and kanna together please? And on days I don't take my diazepam can i take valerian instead with these other supplements? Please advise. Thanks.

not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?

I believe it started maybe 6 months ago. It was a tiny cluster of 4 or 5 blister looking spots little bigger than a pen tip. Thought it was from work and elastic gloves grinding in my wrist. Shortly after it grew to red and about 1" down and covered left to right. It then moved to both wrists. After maybe a month of trying to not agrivate it at work it started to go away. Then it blew up covering both my inner forearms. With either small red spots or raise red blotches all over.

Since long I am taking sleeping pills, xynex 1 mg and Ambien 5 mg. Now i had to add antihistamine Livicitrezine for itching problem. This drug has central action. As i had to go twice or thrice to bath room, my sleep is always distrurbed. I am not having prostate or bladder problem. I am having disturbed sleep and in addition i dream deeply. Many a time it takes a while to know whether it is a dream or it is a reality.

I had prior to the vet visit above been given Wilson one half Benedryl 25 mg Antihistamine morning and evening, in the hope it would clear up the paw problem. A couple weeks of this did not produce any improvement. I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control.

24 hours after the shots the swellings came back. Antihistamine pills did not help at all. Swelling on feet, and itchy red patches on my palms... struggling with that for 2-3 days i had to get shots so i can get some relief for at least 24 hours... then i went on strict food diet... who knows after how many shots and 70 days after, itching is bearable and swellings are rear... 9 days since the last shots. I’m getting better unless I eat something else then twice-baked bread and yogurt...

They had given me a steroid shot and steroid pills to continue taking for about 8-10 days. Along with a antihistamine. They worked and rash was cleared up. The same rash appeared about 2 weeks later again i went to the doctor and they did the same routine (steroid and antihistamine). Cleared up again. Now 2 weeks later the same rash is back but not as severe. This time there is redness in my face as well.

Not really, but did you wean off it, or cold turkey. that could make the difference.

What kind were you taking?

I always have a bad reaction to insect bites or stings with really bad swelling. Normally necessitates application of loads of antihistamine cream, taking maximum dose Piriton tablets for days, then a course of strong antibiotics. If I'm in a situation where I know there is the risk of being bitten, is there any advantage in taking Piriton tablets in advance - along with using insect repellent?

I have been to a local doctor and she gave me some itching medicine and some sort of pills i was to take. i finished the pill cycle and they were still here!!! If anyone has an answer to my problem it would be greatly appreciated! Hope someone can help!!

ve been experimenting with my left over hydro pills and there is ABSOLUTELY a correlation between my PND stopping and taking hydro. I was so thrilled to read others notes and experience being similar to mine as it tells me this is not some unique reaction just for me. I know I can't go on hydro as a "cure" (though honestly I'd do it if someone would prescribe it!) I'm going to start looking for someone that specializes in PND (I live near Boston) and pursue this further.

Hi there I have been using medicine for flu allergy due to pollens may be for 2 months..using bc pills as well.. I got facial skin very dry n feels itchy sometimes as well I feel small pimples in my skin when I touch my skin n gets very rough n bloat like when I use face wash any other cream..

It seems to take every bit of my will power to keep from itching at night, and takes several hours to doze off. Iv tried allergy pills and creams that fail to give relief. My stools seem to be softer and sometimes runny as well. But no other symptoms. I cant think of any new products or food that Iv had, to cause an allergy. The other night I just lost it and scratched my arms and legs for a good 20 minutes, then turned on the light to find white bumps on red skin where Id scratched.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the best dose to use for this purpose, since I think the box label only discusses its use for allergies and leaves wiggle room on dosing (1 or 2 pills, and a range of how frequently to take it, up to so many pills per day); a doctor or pharmacist can probably give you a much better idea of how it is typically dosed for anti-emetic purposes. Dramamine is also an antihistamine I believe, but is marketed for nausea (specific to motion-sickness, I believe).

Okay, I don't know anymore. I thought I had a yeast infection I was given medicine by the doctor. I only used the Miconazole Nitrate Cream from Monistat 1 and started feeling extremely aroused in my clitoris to the point where it hurt. The doctor prescribed Monistat 3 the arousal still didn't go away but it wasn't as strong. I took antihistamine (allerergy pills) the arousal went away.

Just to let anyone know I found out from the pharmacy today that taking certain OTC cold and flu pills especially the night time versions contain chlorpheniramine or antihistamine.. Which should not be combined with meds like xanax because they both contain an ingredient to make you relax and it can effect your breathing by relaxing you essentially too much...

If cranberry pills (much more concentrated than just juice) doesn't turn it around pretty quickly I go ahead and go to the doctor for an antibiotic. I don't like antibiotics, but hopefully a mild one like Keflex will be enough. Once you are done taking the antihistamine, that's when you can take a probiotic.

The dizziness you are experiencing is probably due to the action of the sedating antihistamine (doxylamine probably). However, if it persists (either the pain or the dizziness) it might be best to go get it checked out by a doctor.

Both of these symptoms started happening at just around the same time, when I was 15. The first symptom is an itching related one. When it first started happening, I started getting incredibly itchy on my fingers/hands, feet, legs, and head. It was unbearable and so I went to the doctor to be diagnosed with "The Fifth Disease". I was told I should just take antihistamine pills and it would stop. The itching did stop, but a few days later, it came back.
