Is Allegra Safe To Take For Seasonal Allergies?
I have seasonal allergies that just started last year. I tried Clariton first (then) and it didn t work so I tried Allegra and had success. End last year and I have both meds in the cupboard. This year they start up and I cant recall which worked so I took the clariton. My bad and I am suffering. it has only been two hours. When can I safely take allegra?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Claritine is a once daily medication and its effect is suppose to last 24 hours. Because of this, it means that you cannot use the allegra for at least 16 to 24 hours after the claritine dose.
You may want to try additional therapies to help with your symptoms such as decongestants to help with any nasal symptoms, topical steroid nasal spray, warm facial compresses to help with sinus drainage.
I hope this helps
