Common Questions and Answers about Taking allegra and benadryl

allegra

1402935 tn?1281958699 My sinus mucus swelled up so bad i could hardly breath and my face turned bright red. I did not take it again after that. I tried just general Benadryl and had the same reaction. Red face hard to breath through the nose. I was recently prescribed Allegra and am nervous to take it as it looks like it has a lot of the same medication as benadryl but stronger. Are these medications the same?

Avatar f tn Yes ive taken it bc I have allergies and I am not able to take my allegra or singular during pregnancy and my dr says benadryl only safe med to take...
Avatar f tn I am dying of a 48 hour allergy attack! Clarita does NOT help and the only thing that did before my pregnancy was Allegra.. I am 24.5 weeks along, could I get away with a dose?
Avatar f tn Claritin, benadryl, Allegra, and zyrtec are all safe for your entire pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Benadryl is safe.
Avatar f tn I have allergies to bee stings and last week I got stung by one. First time I years! I made a paste with baking soda and water and let the dry up on the sting, tool benadryl immediately after it happened. The stinger was still in so we took it out before we did anything. The nurse said it's okay ands long as your reaction isn't super super terrible and send you into anaphylaxis shock or get infected. To take benadryl as needed or til your symptoms go away. And to soak it in cool water.
Avatar f tn I was OK to take Allegra. Ask your Dr. But I know Allegra is safe as well as benadril. And claritain. When in doubt ask a Dr.

Avatar f tn I use zyertec and benadryl. My doctor has said they are both safe. Check with your doctor they should have an approved list of meds you can take.
11803947 tn?1430842645 That doesn't do anything to me ;/ I was on high dose with allegra, zyrtec, atarax, and a few others and the sprays before pregnant. Over the counter med doesn't help but thank god today got better after the bloody nose.
Avatar f tn I am now 35 weeks with my first and I have managed to come down with a terrible cold. Chest congestion cough runny nose sore throat whole 9 yards. I feel miserable and exhausted. I talked to my dr and said to take some benadryl and that's about it. Any other suggestions? I am miserable and don't wanna go into labor being sick!
Avatar f tn Yes! I have been taking Allegra and it is really helping.
Avatar f tn Wel my allergist and ob and pharmacy and hospital told me zyrtec was a no go. Sorry just info i received. I took zrytec before and told me to switch. Now im jelly you got to take it. Benadryl and claratin do not work for me.
Avatar f tn I also have celiac disease and am trying to figure out if the xyzal is gluten free. I was taking benadryl. I dont do well with any antihistamines. I was taking Benadryl. There is also an injection you can get.
Avatar f tn Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra and Benadryl... nothing that has D at the end of it though...
Avatar m tn The last six months, I have been in a non flight duty and started taking benadryl which I am normally restricted from taking due to the drowsiness side effects. It seems to be the most effective at treating my symptoms but they still linger. Last week, I took a physical fitness test and it was pretty cold that morning (20F). For the remainder of the day and the next day had a typical cough from having my lungs frozen over from running in the cold.
Avatar f tn They both take Zyrtec and have taken a cocktail of different antihistamines over time (Atarax, Allegra, benadryl, etc) and steroids . They say the hives are pressure-related so you should avoid any tight fitting clothing (especially with elastics - nylons, bras, etc)and massages. Heat seems to make them worse too. One of them claims to have achieved remission when she started taking baby aspirin, but no one can explain why that would help.
Avatar m tn Doctor infection in my inner thighs is round and the inner most thighs is completely ok but the area around it is scaly red and it also have some small red pimples and it is spreading towards my scrotum and anal area. My doctor had prescribed me allegra 180 mg twice a day and said not to apply steriod creams because i am using diffetent steriod creamd on and off for last two months and i am taking bath twice a day and changing my underwears twice in a day.
2078979 tn?1332206668 A lot of OTC allergy meds are okay, but you should definitely double-check with your doc. I take Benadryl at night, Allegra during the day, and allergy eyedrops...walking around with red eyes these days, my allergies have definitely kicked in.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take both Allegra-D and Zyrtec. In short, I suffer from allergies. I find that I feel best when I take a single pill of Allegra-D in the morning and a single pill of Zyrtec at night. In part, I have been doing this because I haven't had to go to the doctor (or Canada) to get more Allegra D so I can take it twice a day. I was wondering what the possible side-effects, besides fatigue, are of the regimen I'm taking? I've felt much better since beginning it.
Avatar m tn This stated a few weeks back. The dermatologist diagnosed it as urticaria,suggested allegra and a soothing cream and i did find relief , but only till the time i was taking the medicines . I am not sure what to do now, whether to continue with the medicines . I am not allergic to any kind of food.Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated ..thanks ..
Avatar n tn I am 56 great health, no meds, Definitely CORN and maybe something else but at least I have some what of a handle and greatly reduced episodes of swelling. Allegra helps but it is hard on my prostate, (high PSA when taking it) so I have found If I take 1/3 of a pill, it will take away the swelling so long as I haven't taken any in the last few days. Taking Allegra every day does NOT stop the swelling. We have to figure this out, it is getting worse.
