i have allergy shots for some time. i still have symptoms. i asked allergist to increase dose. he did by 50%-but says i am already at a strong dose. he will follow protocol, but did i make a mistake and are there side effects if dose is too strong?

Accepted Answer

: You must abide by the guidance of your allergist. Sometimes you may get more allergy symptoms after an allergy shot. Getting too strong a shot may cause this. Before your allergy shot is administered you must inform the allergist of any problematic symptoms you experienced after your last shot. A judgement may then be made as to whether your dose will be the same, lowered or increased.

can you take desloratadine (otc named aerius in canada) everyday throughout life for 20-25 years without any side effects for allergic rhinitis? what if i decide to go for this approach rather than allergy shots. steroid sprays don't work at all.

Accepted Answer

Probably: This drug has been on the market for quite a while. It is simply the isolated/active portion of the drug loritadine that has been around for decades (1993). Studies over the years have shown its safety profile to be quite good. I suppose anyone might have an adverse reaction to any drug but this one has a great record.

Claritin (loratadine) side effect: Claritin (loratadine) can cause many side-effects. Most commonly, it can cause sedation; even though it is called "non-sedating" by the manufacturer.

Accepted Answer

Vitamin D pills: Vitamin d has many beneficial effects on the human body and many of us are deficient in our blood levels of it . Reactions to supplements containing it are rare but could occur depending on the other ingredients in the pill or capsule. It's more likely to decrease allergic reactions than to increase them, and can be beneficial to asthmatics
