Question 1

can i take fexofenadine 180mg with piriton at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Do realize that piriton may cause drowsiness.

Question 2

can i take piriton and fexofenadine together for severe urticaria?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Piriton (chlorpheramine) and fexofenadine are both antihistamines so taking both would not really help you.  Taking both would effectively increase the side effects of antihistamines, in this case drowsiness/ sedation, constipation, mucosal dryness, and mood irritability.  Please see a healthcare provider to help with your urticaria problem.

Question 3

chlorpheniramine maleate or allegra (fexofenadine) which is safer?

Accepted Answer

Both: Antihistamines are extremely safe. Any antihistamine can cause drowsiness, but second-generation antihistamines are much less likely to do so. Drowsiness with chlorpheniramine is the biggest side effect to watch for, between these two meds.

Question 4

whats the difference between a first generation antihistamine like chlorpheniramine and second generation antihistamines like allegra (fexofenadine)?

Accepted Answer

1st and second: First generation antihistamines are sedating and short acting and have usually other properties such as anticholinergic or drying properties. Second generation antihistamines are long aciting, usually dosed once a day, and are less or non sedating and selective antihistamines with less active properties on other receptors.

Question 5

is it possible for you to take an allegra (fexofenadine) in the morning then a claritan d at night?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why?: Claritin (loratadine) d contains the decongestant pseudoephedrine, which can interfere with sleep.  Allegra and Claritin (loratadine) are both antihistamines.  Allegra is typically taken twice a day, while Claritin (loratadine) is taken once a day.  These medicines are considered to be generally quite safe.  There is probably no harm in combining them, but it would seem to make better sense to chose just one or the other.

Question 6

can i take allegra (fexofenadine) in the morning and  zyrtec at night?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This is a high dose of antihistamines and should be best directed by an allergist. Sometimes the high doses are mandated to treat certain conditions, but not seasonal allergies. You should consult an allergist about your symptoms for the best way to treat them.

Question 7

i take allegra (fexofenadine) in the morning. my doctor prescribed singular at night. i took it once & had a really severe headache all night. should i take it again? cut in half? or look for something different.

Accepted Answer

May not be medicine: The headache could be medicine, but could be allergy. Talk with your doctor and try again. I hope you feel well soon.

Question 8

i take allegra (fexofenadine) in morning 180, but allergy hit me at night while am sleeping, should i take another bill at night?

Accepted Answer

You can but...: You can take Allegra 180mg twice a day or you can take a Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night instead. If you require frequent OTC antihistamine dosing throughout the day you might want to talk to an Allergist for further workup and evaluation as there are other treatment options including nasal sprays that can be helpful and reduce symptoms better than Allegra can.

Question 9

is it okay to take loratadine and allegra (fexofenadine) together in the morning for combined effectiveness. should i seek allergy shot. how good is it?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Unless your physician or allergist specifically told you to take two allergy medicines together, this is generally not recommended.  Allergy shots, or immunotherapy, may be of value to you since your symptoms are so difficult to control.

Question 10

can  i take tums after  taking allegra (fexofenadine) this morning?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There won't be any interaction between the two.
