Brief Answer:
No, it is recommended once a day!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this allergy that you are experiencing. The best treatment to allergy is to identify the cause and keep away form. I hope you get to identify the at some point and take great care in avoiding being exposed to it. Try to match the onset of symptoms with your location and look around to see what is always common to both environments.

Allegra 180mg is to be taken once a day. You cannot take it twice. Are you symptoms getting worse or what are the reasons that make you wish to take it again? Also, symptoms would regress and not get completely over within a day. So, you may need to exercise some patience for this to happen over the course of days.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
