Question 1

my daughter takes allegra in the morning and zyrtec at night. is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Allegra and Zyrtec: Both have the same action. There is no point in taking them on the same day. You may alternate as the action lasts for 24 hours for 180 mg of Allegra and 10 mg of Zyrtec.

Question 2

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 3

can i take allegra before going to bed at night?i took one last night and i slept 3 hs only!! usually take it in the morning,any advice?

Accepted Answer

Should be OK: Allegra is a second generation antihistamine, which typically are less likely to cause drowsiness.  Insomnia can be a side effect of the medication, but is very rare. There shouldn't be any reason why you can't take it at night unless it continues to keep you up and interferes with your sleep.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

what antihistamines give me 24hr protection? allegra 180mg? can i take xyzal (levocetirizine) 5mg at night and allegra 180mg morning? topping up prove effective?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depends on the condition.  Most of the newer antihistamine may cover hay fever symptoms for nearly 24 hrs but would not be sufficient to control hives.  Antihistamines have a high safety margin on dosing and thus it is ok for you to use both if necessary.

Question 8

can i take 10mg claritin (loratadine) in the morning & allegra 180mg at night? we just got a puppy & i'm allergic & i feel like there's a lump in throat.

Accepted Answer

Sure, but . . .: You can certainly take both of the medications together safely, however, they are relatively redundant to each other. I would simply take two doses of one or the other. Furthermore, they last about 24 to 30 hours in your system, so therefore you don't necessarily need to take them spread out during the day. Feel better!!

Question 9

how come i get allergy shots n take allegra with atrovent nasal spray in mornings & zyrtec with benydryl n dymista at night, and still have allergies?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: These treatments only manage the symptoms, they don't cure allergies.  Even allergy shots only "immunomodulate" your immune system, helping you respond less brisky to the things you are allergic to.  Another couple of treatments you might consider is nasal saline irrigation and nasal steroids if you haven't been on them in the past.

Question 10

took 2 nyquil pills last night. can i take my regular allegra in the morning still?

Accepted Answer

: Nyquil contains ingredient which has antihistamine activity so you can skip Allegra dose next morning, especially if you feel drowsy. However, there is no serious interaction between these two drugs.
