Does Regular Intake Of Allegra Cause Urinary Retention?

I had urinary retention about a month ago and had to have a catheter due to what the dr thinks is a side affect to Allegra, I had all the tests and dr said everything is back to normal. It happened again today and I have a catheter again. The urologist said he wants me to keep it in a week this time, and that he thinks it happened again because it wasn t in long enough to heal. But I haven t seen him yet just the nurse told me. Does it sound right for that to to happen again

Hello,

The catheter may not cause the allergic reaction but it can cause the infection.

An allergic reaction can happen again if this was not found out when it happened first but it is not the catheter cause the allergic condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
