Question 1

can i give equate allergy relief and q tap?

Accepted Answer

For yourself: For yourself or a child?
Equate has Diphenhydramine for allergies. Most Q-tap for colds does not have an antihistamine in it, so should be fine. As long as not antihistamine in the qtap.

Question 2

i took 8 equate allergy relief. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Equate is diphenhydramine, 8 x 25mg is quite a big dose and you will probably fall asleep from this dose and feel groggy for another day. It is not dangerous but i would not do it again. You are better off seeing a doctor to treat what you are trying to treat with this medication without overdosing on it.

Question 3

how long after taking 1 equate allergy relief pill can i drink a beer?

Accepted Answer

Whenever: there are no contraindications to alcohol in using Zyrtec (cetirizine) (certrizine) which is a non-sedating antihistamine.  Especially if you are truly talking about ONE beer.  I always worry, thought, about people who need to know when they can drink something after drug X, or surgery Y.  When people are that focussed on drinking, I think it may be an indicator of an underlying problem. Think about it.

Question 4

is it okay to mix over-the-counter equate allergy relief pills with nyquil pills?

Accepted Answer

No: No, both pills containe an antihistamine for allergies/runny nose, so you would be taking too much at one time.

Question 5

what can  occur if i gave a 3 year old ( 35 pounds ) allergy relief?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most allergy medicine is sedating.  Some allergy medicines have very few side effects.  If you are concerned about the effects and the dose, you can call poison control with the exact name and dose of the medications and they can advise you what to do and what you are likely to see.

Question 6

has anyone ever heard of a product for allergy relief called "rootology"? its all natural and supposed to give fast relief. reviews?

Accepted Answer

No: But most herbal medicine really does not work that well for hay fever symptoms although a chinese herbal formula (not in market yet) has shown some efficacy in controlling food allergies. 
Base on the name, i presume that the product is made from plant roots possibly with some licorice and ginseng thrown in.

Question 7

do allergy relief pillows work well?

Accepted Answer

Yes but: There are several companies that claim that they have allergy pillows but not all are not the same. Google mission:allergy -- this is a company run by an allergist (not my company) and offers high quality allergy covers and pillows that are effective.

Question 8

what is the best seasonal allergy relief medicine?

Accepted Answer

Depends on symptoms: If you have primarily symptoms of nasal congestion, nasal steroids or nasal antihistamines applied topically gives good relief. If your symptoms include itchiness, etc, antihistamine as a pill is helpful. If our symptoms are primarily with eye irritation, eye drop antihistamines are excellent.

Question 9

how long can i safely use zicam allergy relief for?

Accepted Answer

No specific limit: There is no specific time limit on how long you can use Zicam allergy relief. However, if symptoms are not improving, you should contact your doctor. Some Zicam remedies contain topical nasal decongestants, which should not be used for more than 3 days, but Zicam allergy relief does not. Make sure the swabs you're using do not contain zinc, which can be dangerous if applied directly into the nose.

Question 10

how long can i use zicam allergy relief?  what's in zicam anyway?

Accepted Answer

Not Much: Zicam allergy relief nasal spray contains several unproven homeopathic substances which supposedly get stronger the more they are diluted.  You're just rinsing out your nose with really expensive water.
