Avatar n tn Of the currently available preparations, chlorpheniramine has been recommended as the first generation antihistamine of choice for use during pregnancy. Based on the information available, loratadine or cetirizine may be considered the second generation antihistamines of choice. Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant which can be used for allergic rhinitis. Glucorticoids when used locally is also safe in pregnancy. You need to consult gynecologist before starting above drugs.

666921 tn?1254990618 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
Avatar f tn The fact that it's your face, arms and chest makes me think of flushing ... is it flushing? Have you seen the flushing pictures on my profile? (Click on where it says my username heiferly to go to my profile page and then browse through my photos to find them.) I have some newer ones that may be even better pics of my flushing episodes that I'll try to put up there today if I can. On the other hand, I don't know that flushing usually itches ... have you had MCAD/masto ruled out?
Avatar f tn my doctor said that clairitin and zyrtec are ok, but not allegra.
Avatar m tn The rashes were tiny pinhead in size. I did rapid antibody blood test for HIV 1 and 2 (3rd generation) which came out to be negative. The said rash spread to my upper chest, upper and middle back. I again got tested at 77 days and 84 days using the same kind of tests and got negative results. For the rashes, I was prescribed antihistamine (loratidine) and betamethasone cream(cortisteroids). I used the cream for 2 days and then stopped using but continued with taking the antihistamine.
959034 tn?1253671476 Sorry, one correction, allergy medicines like Allegra and Claritin are second/third-generation antihistimines, rather than classic "antihistimines." I believe they work on H1 receptors as well, but I don't think they are antiemetics.
Avatar f tn There are several things you can do/take. Of course any antihistamine will help. Second generation like Zyrtec and Allegra are better than Benadryl and Chlortirmaton. After that: 1) KEEP the dog out of your bedroom. We put a baby gate up in our door way when we got the puppy. I knew I was allergic to dogs and had just been diagnosed with asthma. Keeping the dog away from me was a priority. The dog rarely comes past our daughter's door. He is now 10.
Avatar n tn ....if you had every symptoms of ARS you would of tested positive at 8 weeks!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn So, very unlikely you got hiv from this. Second generation tests are accurate at 28 days and beyond. All other tests at 12 weeks. It sounds like you took a second generation DUO test and your result is negative. If you took your 4th gen test at 28 days or beyond and it was negative, you don't have HIV.
Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
Avatar f tn Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information. Post us about what your doctor advises. Regards.

Avatar n tn Hi, the drugs you have mentioned are Histamine H1 Antagonist, belonging to Second Generation. These are newer anti histaminics which are devoid of sedation. That is the main advantage over the first generation anti histamines. 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.
