allegra

Avatar m tn I am in week 4 of the Olysio/Sovaldi combo therapy and am disappointed at the side effects I'm experiencing. Prior to starting the treatment I was very encouraged by what I was finding on the boards, especially after two bad experiences with interferon treatment and an allergic reaction to ribavirin. Unfortunately I am experiencing maddening itching which I'm controlling with Allegra and extreme fatigue and an all around foggy feeling.
Avatar n tn Both are mainly used in treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis and treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria. Headache and drowsiness are side effects seen with loratidine. Whereas headache and vomiting with fexofenadine. Both are quiet safe and any one can be used for which consult your local health care provider. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn 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 f tn I read in a forum about using Allegra (an allergy med) to help the side effects. I have found that the Allegra really helps with the Zaps that occur. My problem is I don't want to take one in the afternoon, evening because they will keep me awake all night! Anybody got any night time ideas. I will not take another Paxil - I will put up with whatever licks I have to take. Any idea how long withdrawl symptoms will pop up. Do I have them all now?

There are also nasal antihistamines. You can also purchase an OTC mast cell stabilizer, NasalCrom. It is very effective. Lastly, if nasal drainage is the problem you can try atrovent. Have you tried a variety of oral antihistamines. Zyrtec has very few side effects.
Avatar n tn I would assume they do get worse since the meds build up in your body. I have 3 kids ages 16,11,and 7. My husband and I have explained what to expect the best we could but I really don't want my kids to see mom sick all the time. My son just called and asked if I could drive him and some friends to the ice skating rink and I sadly had to tell him to ask dad.
180992 tn?1383374057 The trial did list possible side effects as does this new trial , I got so many more side effects than listed on the trial information.Without the help of everyone on this forum I don't think I would have gotten through. Advice given about getting ear plugs for my extreme tinnitus and compression hose for the Petechiae rash to Allegra/Zantac for the hives and so many other tips not mentioned by the Doctors.
Avatar f tn He had told me the SIngulair will not make me feel funny, cause anxiety or heart palps etc...yet I see there are a lot of negative side effects. Does anyone have any experience on this medicine or just how safe it is?
Avatar m tn In the first place Zyrtec tends to make you drowsy and Allegra tends to perk you up. It would be pretty weird to take them together. I take Zyrtec daily and when my allergies act up I take a single dose of Benadryl which is short-acting. that works well for me.
Avatar f tn Have you considered that you might be allergic to something in either the Armour or the Allegra? Fillers in drugs often cause people side effects. Also, if you've been hypo recently, and the long, cold, dry winter has just ended, could it be a secondary skin problem that hasn't been able to heal? I've never heard of antibodies causing any symptoms (doesn't mean they can't), except, of course, destruction of the thyroid.
Avatar m tn These dangerous complications occurred when Seldane was taken in combination with erythromycin or ketoconozole, causing Seldane to build up in the blood and resulting in serious cardiac side effects. Hoechst Marion Roussel and Baker Norton Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of the Seldane, have voluntarily discontinued the distribution and marketing of all terfenadine-containing antihistamine product lines in the United States.
Avatar m tn Avoid OTC antiallergy medication in young children as it can have side effects and also impair their immune system. Do take him to his doctor if his symptoms continue for another week. Do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Could he have learned the behavior from the older child, how does she behave with him ?
Avatar n tn gastrointestinal side effects are diarrhea , stomach cramps, and vomiting are side effects ..,I think you should speak to your Doctor whether to continue giving them it .
Avatar f tn Try taking home remidies like plain water steam, twice a day, it gives awesome results for cold, cough and watery eyes. This is free from any side effects. I do this all the time.
700212 tn?1240760820 But in addition to sun blocks you really should cover up with hats, shirts, etc, and ideally just stay in the shade.
2078979 tn?1332206668 My doctor told me that zyrtec and claritin are ok but not allegra. If you perfer natural remedies, chamomile tea, vapor rub, hot chicken broth with a little cheyenne, lots of fruits and veggies-especially vitamin c. Netti pots work great for sinus problems, just make sure to use distilled water.
453255 tn?1205792176 Hi, You could in fact consider an alternative and possibly stronger anti-hstamine medication than allegra / fexofenadine. If your symptoms still persist, you could talk to your doctor about a short course of steroids and see if it helps with your symptoms. A short course of steroids would not be associated with the side effects of steroids. Let us know if you have any other doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing. Regards.
Avatar m tn m not sure if Zofran is used in children but you could ask. Tetrabenzene is used but that has some serious side effects so that might not be for children either. But there are other medications as well. Clonidine in patch form (Catapres) is especially helpful for tic like motions (tardive tourreticism which is a variant of tardive dyskinesia I have as well). I am on Tenex which is helpful as well. I believe both of those are used in children.
Avatar f tn Depending on which state you live in, you can have a religious, philosophical or medical exemption. Since your other kids have a bad reaction to the DTP vaccine, there is a VERY good chance your young daughter will too. Please do your homework before you go foward with this vax, I know you will make the right choice. http://www.thinktwice.
Avatar n tn Some allergy meds can cause nervousness, anxiety, agitation. I'd check out the side effects for yours online. Anxiety, from any cause, can make you sleepless, give you a racing heartbeat, tense muscles, shakes, twitches and all kinds of strange sensations. If you don't have to take the allergy meds, maybe stay off it for a few days and see if your symptoms subside. If that doesn't help, ask yourself if maybe you're under a lot of stress at home or at work.
Avatar f tn Am already aware of all this info and more courtesy my doc and internet. I'm on medication since April and am already undergoing whatever allopathic treatment is available. My question was regarding the side effects, to which no one has an answer, coz allopathy doesn't work without side effects! Thanks anyway!
